In short this will give our customers;
- Increased overall capacity (larger vessels)
- Adding the southern part of the UK to the schedule with a call at London Thamesport
- 2 weekly departures from the Netherlands
The UK – two ports
The south of UK has significant volumes of import/export to Europe. Adding this alternative port should allow us to assist UK shippers and receivers to reduce their reliance on the heavily congested Channel crossings and will allow greater predictability for deliveries. It will of course also be greener route as calling at Moerdijk will reduce the distances travelled by road when looking to export to the Netherlands / Europe.
Baltics and Poland
The larger vessels will allow us to offer greater overall capacity. This is especially the case for exports from the Baltics States (Klaipeda) and Poland to both the UK and Norway.
The Netherlands – two sailings a week
From the port of Moerdijk in the Netherlands, there will be two weekly departures, with arrivals in Oslo on both Mondays and Wednesdays.
The new vessel is designed for 45’ pallet-wide high-cube containers in mind. This equipment has the same capacity as standard 13.6m trailers and will allow the line to directly compliment overland trailer services.
London Thamesport will be added to the route from week 4 - 2023.
