A new high-speed logistics solution now connects the port of Radès in Tunisia to Marina di Carrara in northwestern Italy, designed to offer unmatched speed, flexibility, and reliability.
Maersk highlights that this new Express service comes at a crucial time for Mediterranean and European supply chains.
Its main advantage is an optimal transit time of just 2 days and 7 hours, while also boosting cross-border industrial and automotive production between the two countries.
For the automotive sector in particular, the service strengthens one of the Mediterranean’s main component corridors, with Tunisia becoming a key hub for many critical assemblies used in European car production.
The express link, combined with smooth RO-RO connectivity via Cagliari, ensures minimal downtime and a stable flow of essential components, supporting European assembly lines and the development of electric vehicle supply chains.
The service also directly supports Europe’s reshoring strategy. As more companies bring production back to reduce dependence on Asia and increase resilience, Tunisia’s combination of proximity, industrial capacity, and cost competitiveness makes it an increasingly attractive partner.
By offering a competitive solution for North African trade flows, the service helps clients avoid congestion at major hubs through more strategic routing, enabling more stable and regionally aligned production models.
Finally, by connecting directly to Maersk’s extensive European network and land-based solutions via Italy, companies gain a reliable and scalable gateway that promotes growth, resilience, and closer industrial cooperation across the Mediterranean.
