HHLA PLT Italy, Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG’s Italian multi-purpose terminal in Trieste, has welcomed the container vessel line Ocean Network Express (ONE).
For the first time, ONE calls at the city in the North Adriatic, kicking off the new Adriatic Israel Butterfly (AIB) service.
In one loop, the AIB via ONE connects the North Adriatic with Egypt, and in the other, Egypt with Israel.
The new container service will call in the ports of Koper, Trieste, Venice, Ancona, Piraeus, Alexandria, Damietta, Haifa, and Ashdod on a weekly basis.

“The AIB Service is linking our terminal to new important markets in East Med, such Egypt and Israel, as well as worldwide destinations through ONE’s hubs. We will keep on providing tailor made, punctual and flexible services to our customers.”
Stanley Smulders, ONE’s Director of Marketing and Commercial for Europe & Africa, stated: “With our new AIB service we are able to demonstrate how ONE is committed to providing excellent, reliable and extensive services that meet our customers’ needs.
“Our dedication to enhancing our products and services across the globe is only made possible when we have great partnerships with groups such as HHLA.”
In September 2021, HHLA opened its new terminal gateway at its multi-function terminal at the Piattaforma Logistica Trieste (PLT) at the Italian Port of Trieste.
In August 2023, HHLA’s Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA) received certification as a climate-neutral company from TÜV NORD.
