CHILEAN shipping carrier CSAV is to launch a weekly feeder to connect Istanbul to the Black Sea ports of Novorossiysk, Russia and Poti, Georgia from mid-February, reports American Shipper.
The rotation of its Black Sea Link (BSL) will be Istanbul, Novorossiysk, Poti and Istanbul with as yet unspecified vessel size.
Its aim is to complement the ABS service with slots bought up by Evergreen. This service links Istanbul with Far East, Middle East and Mediterranean ports operated by nine 4,969-TEU ships, according to Compair Data.
