Another new line for Liverpool

[ April 8, 2019   //   ]

Dutch-owned WEC Lines has started a weekly service between Liverpool, Setubal and Leixoes in Portugal, using a 882teu vessel.

Bryn Kerr of JSA Global, WEC Lines UK agent, described the move as “a very positive signal for the Port of Liverpool and speaks volumes of the relationship which has been built up over the previous years with WEC Lines. The new service will ensure goods are able to arrive closer to their ultimate destination and in the quickest time possible.”

Chief executive of Peel Ports, Mark Whitworth, added: “Confidence is building around Liverpool in part thanks to the recent series of high profile line announcements we have already made this year. Shipping lines and customers are coming round to benefits of shipping through one of the UK’s natural trade gateways which is ultimately closer to the end destination of their cargoes.”
