Strengthening connectivity between North Europe, Italy, and Egypt
Maersk introduces a new weekly Baltic Sea - SLA service connecting Gdansk, Bremerhaven, and Genoa (Vado Ligure) with Port Said and Alexandria. The direct routing aims to shorten transit times and improve reliability across a corridor showing steady trade growth. Trade between the EU and Egypt reached approximately €32.3 billion in 2025, with Italy as Egypt's largest European trading partner at around $6.6 billion in bilateral trade in 2024.
