Unifeeder restarts Egypt–Syria service, expands Mediterranean network

Unifeeder will resume its Egypt–Syria service in September, restoring an important trade link across the Eastern Mediterranean. The company said the relaunch will reestablish vital cargo flows and create new opportunities for businesses seeking efficient supply chain connections. By reconnecting Syria to global trade routes, Unifeeder is reinforcing its commitment to reliable connectivity, customer-centric solutions, and regional growth.

This announcement comes shortly after Unifeeder’s July rollout of its new India–Mediterranean service, which links major Indian gateways such as Nhava Sheva and Mundra with East Port Said, Alexandria, and several Turkish ports. Designed to carry both dry and reefer cargo, the service strengthens trade between the Indian subcontinent and Mediterranean markets.

Unifeeder has been rapidly scaling up its Mediterranean operations. According to Alphaliner, the company tripled its market share in 2024 to 4.3 percent, the highest growth in capacity among all operators in the region. Its regional fleet now includes 20 vessels with a combined capacity of 24,000 TEUs—comparable to COSCO’s footprint. Over the past year, Unifeeder has added seven new services, 10,600 TEUs of fresh capacity, and raised its average vessel size to 1,186 TEUs.

The restart of the Egypt–Syria route reflects Unifeeder’s broader strategy to reinforce intra-Mediterranean trade networks, offering shippers shorter transit times, more reliable schedules, and expanded regional connectivity.
