With effect from 10th October, 2016 Samskip has increased the number of sailings between Rotterdam and Bilbao and has enhanced the rail set-up into Barcelona.
Samskip is now able to offer a second sailing between Rotterdam and Bilbao each week.
From Bilbao, rail services are operated to Madrid, Valencia, Vitoria, Zaragoza and Barcelona on a regular basis.
With a new rail set-up of five train departures a week and a 3-day transit time between Perpignan and Rotterdam, Samskip offers a fast intermodal service linking Perpignan and Barcelona to Rotterdam with onward European connections.
This rail service has replaced the rail connection between Duisburg and Bettembourg, which connected the Duisburg terminal to Lyon and Le Boulou, which was discontinued on 1st October 2016.
