CLdN announces new services between Rotterdam and Ireland
“The trade flows between Ireland and mainland Europe are significant, and CLdN is pleased to be able to further expand its offering in this area.”
CLdN has announced the launch of new services between Rotterdam and Ireland. The Luxembourg-headquartered company has chartered two 962 TEU lifton/lift-off (LoLo) cargo vessels that will ship container cargo between the recently acquired Distriport terminal in Rotterdam and Dublin and Cork.
The two additional weekly LoLo sailings complement the three RoRo sailings operated by CLdN each week to and from Dublin. These RoRo services will continue to operate from CLdN’s RoRo terminal in Rotterdam. The LoLo service to Cork complements the existing RoRo service operated by CLdN from its Zeebrugge terminal.
The new services will be operational as from the week commencing 18th March.
Commenting on the additional capacity, Florent Maes, CEO of CLdN, said: “The addition of these services is a direct benefit of the recent Distriport acquisition and an example of CLdN’s ability to find innovative and timely solutions for its customers. The trade flows between Ireland and mainland Europe are significant, and CLdN is pleased to be able to further expand its offering in this area.”
