New Ellerman line launches UK/Iberia link

[ December 5, 2022   //   ]

Ellerman City Liners, an Essex-based operator that has revived the long-defuinct shipping brand with services between North Europe and the Far East and US, has also introduced a short sea route linking Teesport, Tilbury, Rotterdam, Cadiz and Setubal operated by the 800TEU Kristin Schepers.

The service is being introduced with a fortnightly frequency but is due to increase to once a week in the new year.

Geoff Lippitt, chief commercial officer at Teespor towner, PD Ports, said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming Ellerman City Liners to our roster at Teesport with this service; the only direct route between Iberia and Teesport.

“This unique service offers best in class transit times and, when running as planned in 2023, will further boost our weekly roster of vessel calls, reaffirming our position at Teesport as the Northern gateway for international trade.
