SeaLead, a fast-growing global shipping line, has introduced the Turkiye – Italy Express (TIE) Service, a direct shipping service that connects Turkiye to Italy. This strategic move will strengthen SeaLead’s presence in the region, support growing trade flows between Asia, the Mediterranean, and Europe, and reduce transit time for customers.
The shipping line said that TIE service will provide a reliable, efficient, and fast transportation solution. It will have a structured weekly schedule. SeaLead said the port rotation covers Gemlik, Izmit, Istanbul, Aliaga, Salerno, La Spezia, and Genoa, before returning to Gemlik. TIE service will be inaugurated on June 25, with departure from Gemlik.
The new service complements SeaLead’s existing network across the Mediterranean, Europe, and Asia, which includes the WARM and 5CX services. It follows a strategic routing through the Suez Canal, offering a time-efficient solution, and enabling faster connectivity to the Mediterranean and Europe from Asia, supporting customers with enhanced speed, reliability, and more predictable supply chain operations.
