Services to transfer to CLdN as from 29 June.
CLdN today announced that all conditions have been fulfilled to proceed with the acquisition of Samskip’s quay-to-quay and door-to-door freight business between the Continent and UK & Ireland. The services will become part of the CLdN network on 29th June.
The acquisition covers the container shipping services currently operated by Samskip between the Dutch port of Rotterdam1 and the UK ports of Belfast, Blythe, Grangemouth, Hull and Tilbury and the Irish ports of Cork, Dublin and Waterford. These services currently carry out more than 1,000 port calls every year, transporting cargo for a broad customer base, including blue chip consumer goods manufacturers. The transaction also covers the door-to-door cargo services connecting the UK and Ireland with continental Europe, including the transfer of the lease agreements for more than 5,000 multimodal cargo units including 45ft pallet-wide containers, refrigerated containers and curtain-side containers; 40 and 45ft flat racks and 40ft high-cube refrigerated containers.
CLdN will provide its new customers with a seamless continuation of the services currently offered by Samskip.
The transaction further enhances CLdN short-sea container shipping offering for existing and new customers between mainland Europe, the UK and Ireland. It is fully aligned with CLdN’s strategy of providing complementary roll-on / roll-off (RoRo) services for mixed cargo and lift-on / lift-off (LoLo) services specifically for containers. The transaction also significantly enhances the scale of CLdN’s door-to-door multimodal activities with the integration of a broader fleet with wider network reach, particularly between the UK & Ireland and Central & Eastern Europe.
