The company’s two major services – the Mediterranean to North America Service (MENA) and the East Mediterranean to North America Service (EMA) – will undergo major improvements to provide more comprehensive, reliable, and competitive transportation solutions.
The revamped services will offer better connectivity and expanded port coverage, linking 14 key ports across the Mediterranean and North America.
MENA Service Upgrade
The MENA service will now feature a weekly direct call at Salerno, Italy, significantly increasing its port coverage and offering faster transit times. Ships departing from Salerno will reach New York in just 21 days.

The EMA service will expand its port coverage with transshipment in Piraeus, Greece, utilizing COSCO’s extensive feeder network to connect with crucial ports in Romania, Egypt, Turkey, North Africa, and the Adriatic Coast.
