With the aim of increasing its service offering in the Iberian Peninsula, Hapag-Lloyd has launched a new service, the Portugal Tangier Express (PTX). This line will connect Lisbon, Leixões, Vigo and Tangier and will have a weekly frequency.
The line contributes to strengthen the connection between the Port of Lisbon and the Mediterranean, allowing easy connections to the also recently launched Cross Med Express (XMX), a service that connects Tangier to Türkiye. The estimated transit time between Lisbon and Tangier is just one day. The start of the service at the Port of Lisbon is scheduled for March 21st.
Port of Lisbon welcomes this service, which expands further the port's regular lines offer to importers and exporters, as well as improving its connectivity to ports worldwide.
