Adriatic Gate Container Terminal (AGCT) in Croatia is now part of the ports called by the recently launched Bora Med service of CMA CGM Short Sea Lines.
AGCT is International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) business unit at the Port of Rijeka. The Philippine-based multinational company ICTSI had forged a 30-year strategic partnership with Luja Rijeca D.D. to operate, manage, and develop AGCT.
Bora Med service was launched on December 23, 2024, in Antalya, establishing a sustainable maritime link between Turkiye, the Adriatic region, and the Eastern Mediterranean, ICTSI said in a statement.
Bora Med replaces the intra-Mediterranean SSLMED Turkiye Med Express service, offering the Adriatic market with an upgraded service that introduces larger ships up to 2,500 TEUs, as well as an expanded port rotation.
The weekly service improves connectivity and transit times for regional and global shipments.
AGCT chief executive officer Emmanuel Papagiannakis said the port’s inclusion in the service “underscores our role in the Adriatic region and our commitment to provide flexible solutions to our clients.”
He said they welcome opportunities “brought about by the enhanced coverage and faster transit times.”
The port rotation for the BMS service is as follows: Antalya – Izmir – Aliaga – Ambarli – Gebze – Gemlik – Malta – Ancona – Ravenna – Venice – Trieste – Koper – Rijeka – Bar – Taranto – Malta – Limassol – Alexandria – Beirut – Antalya.
