Samskip increases sailing frequency on Portugal /
North Spain Service
Samskip Multimodal Container Logistics has announced
the expansion of its Portugal / North Spain service, which provides a
connection between the Iberian Peninsula and the Port of Rotterdam in Northwest
Europe.
With immediate effect Samskip will increase the
frequency of its sailings from once a week to three and even four departures on
certain routes - from the North Continent to Lisbon, Leixões and Vigo
and vice versa.
New weekly schedules
- - 2 departures to Lisbon and vice versa
- - 4 departures to Leixões and vice
versa
- - 2 departures to Vigo and vice versa
With the improved sailing schedule Samskip is able to
offer its customers a higher frequency, more capacity for 45ft, 40ft and 20ft
equipment during peak seasons and more competitive transit times for calls to
and from Lisbon, Leixões and Vigo.
These improvements are focused around offering more
competitive and sustainable alternatives for 45ft palletwide multimodal
containers versus conventional 13.6m road trailers on the Portuguese and North
Spanish markets.
Samskip is convinced that the six vessel rotation is a
great service improvement for existing as well as potential customers.
