Portland gets the juices flowing

[ November 16, 2022   //   ]

JuiSea Shipping is to operate a regular service from Ghent importing bulk orange juice to the UK through Portland Port.

It follows the completion of successful trials at Portland’s 50 Tonne Crane Berth, recently refurbished to bring it back into working order. 

There will be over 30 shipments a year by the MV Marilie and the product will be taken onward by road to Refresco’s Bridgwater plant. Previously, the product was imported by road tanker all the way from Ghent and the switch to bulk delivery by ship via Portland will significantly reduce road miles and the carbon footprint.

JuiSea Shipping is a collaboration between Refresco Group, the world’s largest bottler of soft drinks and fruit juices and Trilobes, which specialises in ship cargo systems for liquid bulk.
