P&O Ferrymasters, the intermodal arm of P&O Ferries, has launched a new six departures/week round trip route from Budapest to Rotterdam via Duisburg.

The service will be operated with the use of the company's 45 pallet wide high cube containers with a maximum payload of 23.5t for all types of ambient goods.

"P&O Ferrymasters exists to solve supply chain challenges and we are delighted to announce our second new intermodal service of 2019, connecting Budapest with the Benelux, Ruhr region and the United Kingdom," John Freyne, P&O Ferrymasters' Intermodal Business Development Manager, said.

He added, "Using our facilities across Europe, we can now reach every part of the Continent with our highly efficient and cost-effective operations. This new service will enable us to sort out even more logistical challenges for our customers."
