Vessel call at BICT

Batumi International Container Terminal, International Container Terminal Services Inc.’s operation in the Black Sea region, receives the inaugural vessel call of COSCO Shipping Lines’ subsidiary Diamond Line’s TBX1 service. The 1,200-TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units) TBX1 feeder service commenced its weekly calls at BICT in late October with the arrival of M/V AS Fatima. The new service directly calls at the Port of Piraeus in the Mediterranean, COSCO Shipping’s Med hub, from where Batumi and the Caucus region are connected to the rest of the world.
