New container route between Egypt, Greece and Algeria

A maritime feeder service for dry and refrigerated containers will begin on 28 June 2024, connecting the ports of El Dekheila (Alexandria, Egypt), Piraeus and Algiers on a weekly basis. It will be carried out by the Tarros Group and the Diamond Line company, controlled by Cosco Shipping Europe, who will insert one ship each on this route, both of one thousand TEUs. The main objective of this service, called Pae, is "to offer Egyptian exporters a direct and reliable service to Greece and Algeria", as Tarros explains in a note, adding that "Greek shippers will be able to count on a new express connection to Algiers”.

The first departure will take place on June 28th from El Dekheila with the Contship Ivy, which will arrive in Algiers on July 4th. Danilo Ricci, general manager of Tarros states that “this new collaboration will allow us to add a new market segment to our services. The new route will, for the first time, directly connect Egypt and Greece to Algeria and vice versa.
