Jan 02, 2023

Piraeus Port Authority (PPA) and COSCO Shipping Professional Carrier jointly launched a new auto freight route and service in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), aiming to provide high-quality auto logistics services for the region.

This new service involves using special containers to transport vehicles, which can accommodate three vehicles, called flat-frame containers, and is equipped with built-in ramps to facilitate the transportation and placement of vehicles. These platforms have been certified and can be stacked to the height of 3 boxes.

The first batch of vehicles arrived at the Greek port on December 21. The vehicles were uploaded to the container terminal, and then transferred to the car terminal to the final destination.

Yu Zenggang, Chairman of PPA, pointed out that this new service highlights the value of synergy, "which is a necessary prerequisite for achieving great results, has significant economies of scale, and brings benefits to all stakeholders".
