Arkas Line is expanding its international service network as part of its 2025 growth strategy. Building on its recent Red Sea expansion, the company is launching the “India Med Service (IMS),” its first direct route connecting India to the Mediterranean.
From February 10, 2025, the IMS will send four vessels with a capacity of 2,500-2,800 TEU. By June 2025, the service will run weekly with five vessels. The route will cover major ports, such as Ambarli, Nhava Sheva, Mundra, and Alexandria. Customers will also benefit from rail connectivity at India’s Mundra and Nhava Sheva ports to transport cargo to inland trade centers.
Furthermore, Arkas Line is restructuring its Mediterranean operations by integrating its current GPS, EMS, and SEM routes into a streamlined “Blue Med Service (BMS).” This integrated service will improve efficiency in its Mediterranean network while increasing the company’s coverage to 72 ports in 27 countries through 33 service routes.
About its commitment to further global growth, Arkas Line CEO Can Atalay said, “With the launch of IMS and the strengthened BMS, we are firmly committed to offering efficient solutions that cater to evolving customer needs and consolidate our presence in key markets.
