Wan Hai Lines’ former Red Sea AR2 route has been upgraded to FM1, offering direct service to Mediterranean ports! This upgrade expands and optimizes the existing Red Sea route’s port services.

 

The original route called at ports such as Jeddah (SAJED), Saudi Arabia; EGSOK (EGYPT); and Aqaba (JOAQJ), Jordan, building a solid bridge for regional trade.

 

The upgraded FM1 route builds on this legacy by crossing the Suez Canal, effectively opening up a golden waterway to the Mediterranean. It also adds direct service to key ports such as Alexandria (Egypt, a key gateway to North Africa, connecting Egypt with the vast African market); Izmit (Turkey’s industrial heartland, providing strong trade links to the Black Sea region); and Istanbul (located at the strategic intersection of Europe and Asia, significantly enhancing intermodal transport efficiency).

 

The inaugural sailing of the upgraded Shanghai FM1 route will launch on September 12th!

This landmark upgrade will significantly enhance Wan Hai Lines’ network coverage, establishing an efficient logistics corridor connecting Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe. It will provide customers with more flexible and diverse transportation options, effectively shorten delivery times, enable goods to reach their destinations faster, and significantly reduce logistics costs.
