Eyeing both sustainability and improved competitiveness in the maritime sector, Asyad Line acquired the state-of-the-art vessel that features a capacity of 2800 TEU and excellent environmental efficiency rating thanks to its low carbon footprint.

Additionally, Asyad Line has reinforced its IEX service by doubling its frequency, from two to four sailings per month, responding to the increasing global and regional demand.
