MSC has announced a revision of its former Med to Canada trade services offering regular calls to the ports of Montreal and Halifax.

“Renamed the Med Canadian Service, this new set up aims to integrate our two Mediterranean to Canada trade routes into an all-in-one strengthened service,” MSC said, adding: “As demand grows for more efficiency and fewer supply chain emissions, consolidating cargo onto a single line not only drives operational efficiency but also helps reduce CO2 emissions.”

The first sailing will be from Gioia Tauro with the MSC TAMARA, voyage number MZ427A, on 04 July 2024.

The full rotation is: Gioia Tauro – Naples – Leghorn – Genoa – Valencia – Sines – Halifax – Montreal
