Arkas Line has added a second company-owned vessel to the USA Express Service (USX), doubling its capacity on the route.
This marks an expansion of operations on the USA route, which connects Turkey and nearby regions to the East Coast of the United States.
According to Arkas, two vessels now operate on the route: the 2,824 TEU Sine A and the Emma A, which has the same capacity and is fitted with a scrubber system to reduce sulfur emissions.
This addition has resulted in a doubling of capacity on the US route.

The expansion is intended to improve transit times and logistical coverage across the regions served.
