French container line CMA CGM is launching a new Black Sea loop for connections to North Africa.
The Black Sea Med Express service starts on 21 August to link Turkey, Romania and Ukraine to Algeria and Morocco.
The move is a response to the increase in trade between the countries, it said.
The run is its first to offer a weekly connection between the main ports of the Black and Aegean seas and the north of Morocco (Tangier and Casablanca) and Algeria (Annaba).
