Italian based Agencies SRL and its partners in Dubai has announced the time-charter of the Ro-Ro vessel Mimer from the Finnish shipowner Godby Shipping.
The Ro-Ro vessel will be deployed in a new regular Ro-Ro service from the FHP terminal in Chioggia (Venice) to the Libyan ports of Benghazi and Misurata, operated under the MIDLINE SHIPPING brand, for which Aagencies SRL acts as General Agent for Europe and Turkey.
The new Ro-Ro service will have first scheduled departure on 8th of May and will run every 15–18 days from Italy and is the only direct Ro-Ro connection between Europe and Benghazi, with an exceptional transit time of just 4 days from the Venezia-Chioggia terminal.
In addition to the Libyan ports, the service will also include regular calls at Izmir and Mersin (Turkey), as well as Alexandria (Egypt), creating an efficient logistics bridge between Europe, Turkey, North Africa, and the Middle East as the company mentions.
The Mimer is a Ro-Ro vessel perfectly suited for transporting project cargo, rolling units, and oversized machinery, as having approximate 1,030 lane meters cargo capacity with a deadweight (DWT) of 4,491 tons and a Ro-Ro ramp with up to 180 tons capacity particularly suitable for MAFI cargo.
