P&O Ferrymasters boosts its NL-PL rail offering

The company has added a sixth weekly round-trip to its service that loops between CLIP's terminal in Swarzędz and Europoort's in the Port of Rotterdam.

The newly introduced departure, specifically designed for Less Trailer Load (LTL) shipments, will take place on Mondays. The transit time amounts to 20 hours and the trainset comprises 36 huckepack up to 28t each trailers.

"We have responded to what our customers were telling us by introducing our first LTL service by rail using huckepack trailers which can be loaded from the side. There has been steadily increasing demand for LTL shipments to and from Poland, with rising exports from the Benelux countries driving volumes," Mark Timmermans, Trailer Director, P&O Ferrymasters, commented.

He added, "This sixth weekly departure means that we can offer more customers who need to transport goods between the industrial heart of Poland and Europe's busiest port a reliable and environmentally friendly solution at a price which is competitive with road haulage."
