MSC Announce New Israel Express Service

04/10/2017

MSC is delighted to announce improvements to its Israel Express service.  MSC will operate three out of five vessels on the service, which is part of a vessel sharing agreement with ZIM Integrated Shipping Ltd.

The new rotation will take effect from late April 2017 and will be: Felixstowe - Rotterdam - Hamburg - Antwerp - Le Havre - Limassol - Ashdod - Haifa - Ashdod - Valencia - Felixstowe

The updated service will provide customers with:

  • A regular and reliable service all year round, both on Southbound and Northbound routes
  • Direct service from all NWC ports to Limassol
  • Direct call from Israel to Valencia and NWC ports, further improving the transit times to Valencia and NWC ports.
  • The new set up will maintain the current days of call at Israeli ports
  • The second call from Ashdod is entirely dedicated to reefer cargo and enabling the opportunity to ship/export cargo at the end of the week and offer better transit times to NWC ports

The first sailing dates following the implementation of these changes, are scheduled for:

  • Southbound  MSC Tokyo 717A, Felixstowe, ETA 24th April, 2017
  • Northbound  E.R. PUSAN 044W,  Haifa, ETD 26th April, 2017
