Aix en Provence (FR) –Munich (DE), 20/08/2010:
Bookings for the Tekirdag-Toulon Ferry are now open to transporters. For the first time, there is a regular service between Turkey and France.
This mode of transport saves approximately two days as compared to journeys by road. The 3 boats making the crossing each have a capacity of 2800 linear metres. Drivers make the journey by plane, a service organised by the Ferry company.
Bookings for lorries and trailers to make the Toulon – Tekirdag crossing can be made as of now with VIALTIS-TRANSCAMION, the UND DENIZ Line's partner for Central Europe.
The responsiveness of both partners ensures bookings are quickly confirmed. The ferries are very well equipped to handle lorries and crossings take place in both directions 3 times a week to a set timetable.
The UND Deniz Tasimaciligi A.S. crossing offers a new regular RoRo service between Turkey (Tekirdag) and France (Toulon). In addition to regular departures, the transit time is slashed to 72 hours and therefore offers time savings as compared to travel by road.
