From December 2016, the Icelandic shipping line Eimskip will be calling at EUROGATE Container Terminal Bremerhaven. Eimskip offers scheduled services in the North Atlantic, mainly to and from Iceland. The Blue Line service will soon include Bremerhaven as a port of call.
The MV Dettifoss and MV Godafoss, each with a transport capacity of 1,474 standard containers (TEUs), will dock at EUROGATE Container Terminal Bremerhaven once a week. The route departs from the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik, via Toshavn on the Faeroe Islands, to Rotterdam, Bremerhaven and Aarhus.
In addition to container freight, Eimskip also transports break-bulk/LCL cargo to Iceland, and will therefore also draw on the services of the Container Freight Station (CFS) directly at the terminal. With its proximity to the fishing industry, Bremerhaven is the ideal location for the Icelandic shipping line, which also specialises in reefer cargo. BLG Coldstore, the region’s biggest commercial coldstore, is located directly at the container terminal.
