CMA CGM starts Hamburg feeder service

1/26/2010 10:44:11 AM

CMA CGM has started operation on a new feeder service between the Port of Hamburg and the Danish ports of Fredericia and Copenhagen, as well as Halmstad in Sweden and the Baltic Sea port of Szczecin in Poland.

 

The feeder ship Electron calls at container terminals at the Port of Hamburg once a week. The Electron cast off from the Port of Hamburg for the first time on January 13, 2010.

 

The ship, chartered by the shipping company JR Shipping in Harlingen, measures 118.3 metres in length and 18.2 metres in width, has a load capacity of 658 TEUs and provides 100 reefer connections.

 

With a deadweight tonnage of 6,860 tonnes, the ship reaches a maximum draft of 7.1 metres and has a cruising speed of 17 knots.

 

The Port of Hamburg acts as a traffic hub between overseas markets and the Baltic Sea area. Sea-borne container traffic with Poland achieved a container turnover of more than 160,000 TEUs in the first nine months of 2009.

 

This made Poland the seventh most important trading partner of the Port of Hamburg in terms of sea-borne cargo transhipments. Hamburg offers roughly a dozen departures to the Polish ports every week.
