New Port of Rotterdam-Stockholm-St.Petersburg container service launched

Samskip Multimodal Container Logistics sails every Thursday from the port of Rotterdam to Stockholm and Saint Petersburg, the Port of Rotterdam news release said.

The new schedule is based on a collaboration agreement with SCA Transforest. Samskip has an allocation on the two 1,000 TEU ships which SCA Transforest uses.

They are handled in the port of Rotterdam at the Interforest Terminal. The ships moor in Saint Petersburg at the First Container Terminal, after which they return to Rotterdam via Sundsvall and Umea. Samskip uses the service because it offers very fast transit times to Stockholm (three days) as well as Saint Petersburg (five days).
