Akkon Lines upgrades Tunisia–Libya service

Akkon Lines has added a third vessel to its Tunisia Libya Service (TLS), increasing the service frequency to weekly, according to Alphaliner. The service now deploys three container vessels with an average capacity of approximately 800 TEUs. The revised rotation is: Istanbul (Ambarlı) – Izmit (Derince) – Gemlik – Aliağa – Tripoli – Khoms – Sousse – Istanbul. The loop connects four Turkish ports with Libya’s Tripoli and Khoms, as well as Sousse in Tunisia. The additional vessel enables Akkon Lines to offer more regular sailings across the Türkiye–North Africa trade.
