Wallenius Wilhelmsen starts U.S/Middle East link
Wallenius Wilhelmsen will start a direct pure-car/truck-carrier or roll-on/roll-off service from the U.S. east and gulf coasts to the Middle East in early March.
Two sailings per month, eastbound only, will be offered, with continuing service to the Far East on a monthly basis.
The load ports will be Baltimore, Savannah, Galveston and Jacksonville, with discharge at Jeddah, Dubai, Dammam and Kuwait, then Singapore and Shanghai in the Far East. Additional ports will be available via transshipment or inducement.
Wallenius Wilhelmsen said that the enhancement of its Middle East service is part of the ongoing expansion of its global network.
