Singaporean SeaLead has announced the inclusion in its offer of sea freight forwarding on the route between Turkey and Italy with rotation of the service which, from next 25 June, it will touch the ports of Gemlik, Izmit, Istanbul, Aliaga, Salerno, La Spezia and Genoa and Gemlik. Asian society has highlighted that the new service, called Türkiye - Italy Express (TIE) and on a weekly basis, will be integrated with the WARM and 5CX services that connect Europe with Asia by crossing the Suez Canal, a route that - SeaLand underlined - offers a faster connectivity between the two regions, implicitly recalling that most of the competing services on the Asia-Europe route currently circumnavigate Africa to avoid the Red Sea crisis area.
