Unifeeder, the container carrier behind the largest intra-European integrated network, has added another port to its extensive coverage, the company said in its press release.
From February 2018, Unifeeder will be calling Vlissingen twice per week and connect the Dutch port with Oslo, Helsingborg and Helsinki.
The new connections give customers located south of Rotterdam a reliable and cost-effective alternative to the busy port of Rotterdam.
Unifeeder’s unique business model, which combines Feeder cargo and Shortsea cargo, means that customers in both segments will be supporting these new connections, which have been started primarily on the basis of a Shortsea requirement.
