London Gateway adds two routes
DP World has announced that London Gateway is the UK port of call for two new major international shipping services, connecting the economies of Western Europe with the Eastern Mediterranean, North Africa and Russia.
Sealand-Maersk’s North Sea service is one route and has a 42-day rotation stretching from Western Europe to Cyprus, Egypt and Israel. After London Gateway, the service calls at Rotterdam, Bremerhaven, Wilhelmshaven, Hamburg, Antwerp, Limassol, Ashdod, Alexandria, Haifa, Mersin, and finally at Port Said East before returning to London Gateway. This route previously called at Felixstowe.
The other is Unifeeder’s new St Petersburg service. Unifeeder has introduced an additional loop connecting the Benelux and Russian markets with Britain. The new service has fixed day weekly connections on a rotation from London to Antwerp, St Petersburg, Bremerhaven and then back to London.
