MV ISTANBUL BRIDGE Connects China with Aden,,,

May 1, 2025 – The vessel ISTANBUL BRIDGE, approximately 300 meters in length and operated by the Chinese shipping line SEA LEGEND, berthed today at the Aden Container Terminal. This marks a continued strengthening of the Chinese line’s presence and its direct connection between Chinese ports and the Port of Aden.

The Chinese company has further solidified its position at the Port of Aden by reducing transit times between Chinese ports and Aden through regular weekly direct sailings, positively contributing to lower sea freight rates.

In turn, the Port of Aden management welcomed the ISTANBUL BRIDGE, reaffirming the terminal’s readiness and capability to efficiently handle all types of container vessels.
