Containerships enhance new connections
SHIPPING: Containerships now operates a new weekly linking Aarhus with Riga and Klaipeda. A 900 TEU vessel will operate this new service which will also call at Teesport and Rotterdam. The new service is in addition to the Aarhus, Gdansk, Sodertalje, St. Petersburg and Helsinki service that has been in place for 18 months.
"Not only can we can now offer a fast, reliable alternative to the ferries from Denmark to the UK, but we can now also offer a Baltic States gateway for Russian cargoes from the Danish market. With a Friday arrival in Teesport, we can have goods into the marketplace in Scotland & northern England over the weekend or first thing Monday morning. This is especially important for our perishable goods customers. The new service will also strengthen our market leader position for transit goods from the Baltics to Iceland via Aarhus", says Sigurður Orri Jónsson, Director Containerships in Denmark.
Using the port of Riga for access to Central Asia markets and Klaipeda to reach Belarus and Ukraine will enable Eimskip Denmark to provide the market in Denmark with a unique service.
