CEE fleet expansion
European logistics specialist P&O Ferrymasters is expanding its CEE fleet by leasing a further 300 trailers from TIP Trailer Services in a new seven year deal with one of Europe’s leading equipment services providers.
The deal covers 200 coilers for deployment in central Europe and 100 huckepack trailers to boost the P&O Ferrymasters intermodal fleet operating on rail services from Rotterdam and Zeebrugge to Eastern Europe and vice versa.
Manufactured by Germany’s Schmitz CargobullAG, all the new trailers will feature the company’s recently updated logo, which gives a more modern look to the familiar P&O Ferrymasters flag emblem to underline the company’s place in today’s freight market.
The trailers are being supplied with the superior EN 12642 Code XL rating for load bearing capacity. Their special side curtains each have 24 vertical aluminium boards – 48 per trailer – to reinforce the curtain structure. This ‘fit and forget’ solution also eliminates the need to equip trailers with horizontal wooden boards, which have a
limited life and are costly to renew.
