Greenock gains Türkiye connection

[ April 25, 2024   //   ]

The Port of Greenock has gained a weekly container to Türkiye (Turkey) with the extension of Mediterranean Shipping Company’s existing UK West Coast service from Liverpool.

It follows Greenock owners Peel Ports £25m investment in two new ship-to-shore cranes, capable of servicing larger post-panamax container vessels.

The service rotation also includes Spain, Portugal and France, and will significantly enhance connections from Scotland to the Far East, India and Pakistan thanks to direct mother vessel to mother vessel transshipment connection in Sines, Portugal.

Scottish exports include whisky, other alcohol and plastics, alongside imports of food, packaging materials and manufactured products.
