In the Med the allies had such an advantage in Naval and Air Power that the convoy system was not used to the extent it was used in the Atlantic. After all most of the Merchant ships had to hop from harbour to harbour in close distances and close to the coast lines. That eliminates the danger from U-Boats. Still the Med Theater was the most deadly for the U-Boats due to the massive allied naval and air cover and to the shallow waters of the region.
