MSC cuts transit times for Australian cargo bound for Europe

MSC is pleased to announce an enhancement to the Australia Express Service (AES), which will slash transit times to the North West Continent ports of Europe, improving their  offering out of Australia.

The revised Australia Express Service will ensure better and faster coverage by omitting the ports of Salalah, Djibouti and King Abdullah Port, before calling at Gioia Tauro, a key Mediterranean hub.

The first vessel on the revised route, MSC India, is expected to depart Sydney on 30 October 2017.

The full rotation will be Melbourne – Adelaide – Fremantle – Singapore – Colombo – Suez – Gioia Tauro – Valencia - London Gateway – Antwerp – Le Havre – Fos-Sur-Mer – La Spezia – Naples - Gioia Tauro – Suez – Pointe De Gallets – Port Louis – Sydney – Melbourne

Transit times and final commercial schedules will be communicated shortly.
