Mediterranean Shipping Co. will use Italy’s Port of Gioia Tauro to transship all cargo moving from ports in the United Kingdom and Northern Europe to Australia and islands in the Indian Ocean.
MSC will launch a new service to Australia and the Indian Ocean called the Lion service, which will go directly to Gioia Tauro, the second-largest container shipping company said in a notice to customers Monday. The new arrangement is designed to provide better transit times.
After calls at ports in Northern Europe and the U.K., the Lion service will go directly to Gioia Tauro, where the cargo will be transshipped to another vessel that will make the following port calls: Pointe-Des-Galets, Port Louis, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Fremantle.
