To address growing demand in the European and Mediterranean regions, Taiwanese container carrier Yang Ming has announced two new services. These are the North Europe-Aegean Express (NEA) and North Europe-Levant Express (NEL). Operations are scheduled to start in January 2025. These services will offer a comprehensive, faster network, reinforcing Yang Ming’s connectivity across Europe, the Aegean, and the Levant regions.
Key Details of NEA and NEL Services
The two services will be managed on fixed weekly schedules using four vessels each, operating on a 28-day rotation cycle. This approach is expected to enhance predictability. It will also improve efficiency for importers and exporters relying on Yang Ming’s network for supply chain stability.
- NEA (North Europe-Aegean Express): This service will strengthen links between Northern Europe and the Aegean Sea region. It is a vital hub for both intra-European trade and connectivity to Asia.
- NEL (North Europe-Levant Express): This service aims to enhance trade between Europe and the Levant region. It will improve access for countries along the eastern Mediterranean, particularly Egypt and Turkey.
Service Schedules and Port Rotation

| NEA | Aegean | 4 | Weekly | 28 days | London Gateway (UK) – Antwerp (Belgium) – Rotterdam (Netherlands) – Piraeus (Greece) – Istanbul (Turkey) – Gebze (Turkey) – Gemlik (Turkey) – Aliaga (Turkey) – Piraeus – London Gateway |
| NEL | Levant | 4 | Weekly | 28 days | London Gateway – Rotterdam – Hamburg (Germany) – Antwerp – El-Dekheila (Egypt) – Damietta (Egypt) – Mersin (Turkey) – London Gateway |
These services will optimize rotation and transit time. This will empower Yang Ming’s clients to navigate the dynamic needs of the European and Mediterranean markets more effectively. This ensures a steady flow of goods across major commercial centers. The new routes align with Yang Ming’s commitment to providing comprehensive service options. They also reinforce trade connectivity between Europe, the Aegean, and Levant regions.
