North East-based PD Ports has secured a deal with Dutch shipping line, Cargow which further strengthens Teesport’s platform and market position as a port of choice for shippers accessing the North of the UK for onward distribution of trade, the company said in its release.
PD Ports already works with seven shipping lines, including some of the world’s largest, and this new relationship will see a direct bi-weekly connection with west coast of Norway, east coast of Iceland, Faroe, Shetland, and Rotterdam providing additional connections for key sectors in the Tees Valley including project, offshore, wind, oil and gas.
The new relationship demonstrates the significant confidence and trust that global shippers have in Teesport to deliver an unrivalled service quality, backed by excellent UK-wide transport links for further distribution. It will support long-term sustainability for both PD Ports and other local businesses, including jobs and overall economic prosperity in the Tees Valley.
