Ocean Network Express (ONE) is rolling out a strategic update to its European service network. Taking effect in March 2026, the carrier is launching the brand new Aegean Express (AEX) and executing a comprehensive revamp of its Levant Express (LEX) service.
Both changes aim to tighten schedule reliability and improve transit times between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean.
The new weekly AEX service is engineered to create a high-frequency, direct connection between major Northern European hubs and key ports across Greece and Turkey.
