MSC is pleased to announce significant upgrades to its Dragon and Jade services, substantially improving transit times and connectivity from Asia to key Mediterranean markets.
A key improvement involves the introduction of a new direct call at Trieste, Italy, on the Dragon service. This strategic addition is set to reduce transit times by five days, while offering seamless connections to vital ports including Koper, Rijeka, Venice, Ravenna, and Ancona.
