Hong Kong shipping line focuses on Gothenburg

2/14/2009 9:43:41 AM

The Hong Kong-based shipping line Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) is set to become a new customer for the Port of Gothenburg.   In March, a new line will commence linking Gothenburg with Russia and the continent.   A rotation route will commence covering Hamburg, Gothenburg, Klaipeda, St Petersburg, Rauma and Gävle/Hamburg.   The freight comprises import goods from Asia, Australia and North America and will be reloaded from the line's ocean-going vessels in Hamburg onto vessels serving the new route. It will also be possible for Swedish companies to use the route to export goods to Lithuania, Finland and Russia.   To facilitate the movement of freight from different parts of Sweden, including the Stockholm area, to the Port of Gothenburg, OOCL will make use of the rail shuttles that link the port to different towns in Sweden.   The vessels on the new route are the OOCL Neva and the OOCL Narva, each with a capacity of 868 TEU.   CargoNewsAsia
