The Adriatic Gate Container Terminal (AGCT), a subsidiary of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), has been included in the port rotation of the recently launched Bora Med Service by CMA CGM Short Sea Lines.
The new service, which began operations on December 23 in Antalya, Türkiye, offers a sustainable maritime link connecting Türkiye, the Adriatic region, and the Eastern Mediterranean. It replaces the SSLMED Türkiye Med Express 3 (TMX3) service, delivering an upgraded shipping solution with larger vessels, accommodating up to 2,500 TEUs, and a more extensive port rotation.
“AGCT’s inclusion in this service underscores our role in the Adriatic region and our commitment to provide flexible solutions for our clients,” said Emmanuel Papagiannakis, AGCT chief executive officer. “We welcome the opportunities brought about by the enhanced coverage and faster transit times.”
The Bora Med Service improves connectivity and transit times for regional and international shipments, benefiting businesses relying on efficient trade routes in the Mediterranean. The weekly service features a comprehensive port rotation, including major trade hubs like Antalya, Izmir, Aliaga, and Malta, and spans across ports in Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Cyprus, and Egypt.
The inclusion of AGCT highlights its growing importance in the Adriatic shipping landscape. Located at the Port of Rijeka, Croatia’s largest seaport, AGCT serves as a strategic gateway for trade in Central and Southeast Europe, offering modern infrastructure and high operational efficiency.
