Samskip Multimodal Container Logistics will start a new weekly service between Zeebrugge in Belgium and Teesport in the UK this month.
Samskip will offer the service on a door-to-door basis with its own fleet of equipment, as well as on a quay-to-quay basis for shippers' owned equipment.
Samskip currently operates services between the port of Rotterdam and the ports of Tilbury, Hull and Grangemouth.
According to route director Diederick Blom, Teesport's central position between the ports of Grangemouth and Hull makes it a logical addition to Samski's network, and the Zeebrugge call will expand service coverage to the western region of Belgium, Northern France and Southern Germany.
Mitsui OSK Lines will launch a new all-water service to expedite cargo moving from major Asian ports to key destinations on the US East Coast via the Suez Canal on May 15th.
The new service, jointly operated by MOL and K-Line, replaces K-Line's existing service.
The South China/Vietnam - US East Coast (SVE) service will deploy nine 5,500 TEU vessels: two from MOL and seven from K-Line.
The SVE service port rotation will be: Cai Mep > Shekou > Hong Kong > Yantian > Singapore > Halifax > New York > Norfolk > Jacksonville > Savannah > Singapore > Cai Mep.
