SHIPPING + MARITIME-

#1- SeaLead axes Med-US service: Singapore-based shipper SeaLead has terminated its MEDUS service linking the Mediterranean Sea with the US East Coast, Al Mal reports, citing Alphaliner data. The service — launched earlier this year — operated bi-weekly and linked Mediterranean ports including Mersin, Istanbul, Gebze, Aliaga, and Casablanca.

A tough year for SeaLead: SeaLead lost one-third of its fleet after canceling charters for 16 boxships linked to sanctioned entities, Lloyd’s List reported earlier this year. The development jeopardized the firm’s ranking as the 13th-largest liner operator worldwide.

#2- Pan Marine debuts Ropax service: Egypt’s Pan Marine Shipping Group has launched a new shipping service — Ropax — that aims to connect Saudi Arabia’s Neom port to Egypt’s Safaga port, Al Mal reports. The service — scheduled to operate in the first week of December — will feature four fixed trips per week with seven-hour transits, carrying over 130 trucks and 100 wagons.
