en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has launched a new PHOENIX direct container service at the Port of Koper, with its maiden vessel, MSC AGAMEMNON VIII, calling at the port on May 31. This route connects the Port of Koper with multiple ports in the Far East, the Mediterranean, and the Adriatic region, initially operating as a bi-weekly service, with plans to transition to a weekly schedule.

The Port of Koper stated that the addition of the PHOENIX route strengthens its trade ties with the Asian market and further expands regional connectivity. This route becomes the fourth direct container service to Asia at the Port of Koper, reinforcing the port's role as a cargo hub between Central Europe and Asia. Currently, European ports are continuously increasing direct services to cope with growing trade volumes and enhance supply chain flexibility. The launch of the PHOENIX route provides more transportation options for importers and exporters in the Adriatic region.

The PHOENIX route is part of MSC's global network adjustment. Located in Slovenia, the Port of Koper is the country's only cargo port and a key gateway for Central and Eastern European countries to the Adriatic Sea. In recent years, the port has continuously improved its container throughput capacity and route density to solidify its position as a regional transshipment hub.
