MSC Improves Connections Between Baltic & Other European Ports

MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company is updating its network to better serve shippers moving cargo between the Baltic region and key North European hubs, connecting with destinations worldwide. 

MSC’s holistic approach to the region means that we can offer a variety of different solutions for shippers. Thanks to the combination of some 11 different loops servicing key ports, whether your business is import or export, we have a solution for you.

MSC also seeks to enhance schedule reliability, while ensuring that transit times remain competitive in those regions, to ensure we match our customers’ expectations.

The implementation of the new network is planned for Spring 2019 and remains subject to further updates.
