CLdN has announced the launch of a new weekly service between Zeebrugge and Ireland.
CLdN has chartered an 800 TEU lift-on/lift-off (LoLo) cargo vessel (M/V JSP Rover) that will ship container cargo between its Albert II terminal in Zeebrugge and Cork/Dublin.
The introduction of the new LoLo service will also enable a further optimisation of CLdN’s RoRo fleet deployment, thereby increasing customer options on the routes between Zeebrugge and Ireland.
The new service responds to continuing growth in customer demand to move freight between mainland Europe and Ireland.
The additional LoLo sailing complements the four RoRo sailings each week from Zeebrugge to Ireland (two to Cork and two to Dublin).
It brings to 14 the number of weekly return sailings between Ireland and CLdN’s main continental hubs of Rotterdam and Zeebrugge. The new service will start on 10 May.
Earlier this year, CLdN confirmed the successful completion of its multimillion-pound investment at the Brocklebank terminal in the Port of Liverpool.
