Milaha, a maritime transport and logistics conglomerate based in Qatar, launches the first direct reefer service between Qatar and Turkey.
Over the past few weeks, Milaha had arranged two ad hoc voyages of reefer vessels from Turkey to Qatar; however, the company has moved to reg[ds_preview]ularize the service, with departures every 20 to 25 days between Hamad Port and Port of Izmir, with a short transit time of eleven days the company stated.
The new service will be initially operated with one vessel with a capacity of over 5,000 t per voyage, and will cater mainly to temperature-controlled cargo and breakbulk, with the option of adding containers upon request.
Milaha launched several new shipping routes
Milaha continues to enhance its international presence and diverse portfolio of marine and logistics services. The company has recently expanded into several new shipping routes and accelerated deployment of new supply chain solutions across a number of countries. Milaha currently calls two ports in Oman (Sohar and Salalah), three ports in India (Nhava Sheva, Mundra, and Kandla), and one port in Kuwait (Shuwaikh) offering enhanced access options and transit times to Qatar and the region, and is actively evaluating further expansion of services.
