Sealand-Maersk and Unifeeder include London Gateway in their service routes
DP World recently announced that London Gateway, Britain’s fastest growing container terminal, is now the UK port of call for two new major international shipping services, connecting the economies of Western Europe with the Eastern Mediterranean, North Africa and Russia.
DP World created an integrated business in the UK comprising two deep water ports with freight rail terminals at London Gateway and Southampton, meaning greater flexibility and choice for shipping lines and cargo owners.
London Gateway is now the UK port of call for Sealand-Maersk’s North Sea service, which connects the key economies of Northern Europe with the Eastern Mediterranean. Previously calling at the Suffolk coast, this major international shipping service has a 42-day rotation stretching from Western Europe to Cyprus, Egypt and Israel.
Also, London Gateway last month became the UK port of call for Unifeeder’s new St Petersburg service. Increasing its UK service in response to a growing demand for multi-jmodal transportation, Unifeeder has introduced an additional loop connecting the Benelux and Russian markets with Britain.
“We have the capacity to continue to prioritize delivering first class services for all existing customers at the same time as handling new sailings which expand customer choice,” commented Ernst Schulze, CEO, DP World, UK.
