Company Announcement - Adriatic Gate Container Terminal, International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s container handling facility in the Port of Rijeka, Croatia, recently launched China Ocean Shipping (Group) Co.’s , Adriatic–Greece–Turkey service when COSCO selected AGCT as the first port of call of the service. 

The AGCT launch was marked by the maiden call of Contship Eco last 24 February.  The service, which directly connects Rijeka with Greek and Turkish ports, also links the Northern Adriatic ports with Piraeus, Greece.  For Rijeka, the AGT service presents huge trade opportunities, especially for imports.

Contship Eco, together with two other vessels deployed to the service, Orkun Kalvan and Reecon Emir, calls Rijeka once a week, and plies the ports of Piraeus, Koper, Venecija, Ancona, Thessaloniki, Istanbul Ambarli, Istanbul Haydarpasa, Yilport Gebze and Izmir.

COSCO is China's largest enterprise specializing in global shipping, modern logistics and ship building and repairing. 

AGCT, on the other hand, is a subsidiary of International Container Terminal Services, Inc., operator, manager and developer of container terminals in over 20 countries across the Asia-Pacific, the Americas, and Europe, Middle East, and Africa.  Established in 1987 and headquartered in the Philippines, ICTSI has built a solid portfolio of successful port privatization partnerships with governments, and offers shipping line clients the advantage of high standards of service.
