MSC has enhanced its North Europe-Russia connections with the launch of a new Baltic Loop 12 service connecting Antwerp, St Petersburg, Klaipeda, Antwerp from 9 June 2026. The service will turn in 14 days and will deploy the 3,005 teu MSC SHANNON III and MSC NEDERLAND III on a weekly frequency.
MSC remains the only main carrier to retain services to Russia since European sanctions against Russia were rolled out in February 2022.
