Global shipping giant Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has included the seaport of Klaipeda in its maritime route connecting Lithuania with Latin America.
The route will link Klaipeda directly with ports in the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Peru, Colombia and other countries.
Last July, MSC included the Lithuanian seaport in its route linking Western Europe with India and Pakistan.
Terminal Investment Limited, a company owned by MSC, controls Klaipedos Smelte, a major stevedoring company in Klaipeda.
Container (TEU) loadings in Klaipeda surged by almost 31% YoY in January, the highest increase among ports on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea. (BNN/Business World Magazine)
