Finnish shipping company Containerships has switched its Polish calls to the new DCT Gdansk deepwater container terminal.
Initially, two weekly Containerships services will make the move, one linking Gdansk with St. Petersburg in Russia and ports in Sweden and Finland, and another connecting Gdansk with Teesport in the United Kingdom.
“Containerships’ managers recognized the potential of DCT Gdansk even before it was completed, but theirs is a very slick and demanding operation," said DCT Gdansk’s General Manager Fred Kamperman. "They needed to see that DCT Gdansk could deliver the levels of service they require in order to maintain schedule integrity. Now, with some months’ experience handling customers such as the feeder operators Team Lines and IMCL, we have been able to prove ourselves and Containerships felt confident about making the switch."
Helsinki-based Containerships operates 11 vessels in the Baltic Sea region and is a joint venture between Finnish Container Finance Ltd. Oy and Icelandic transportation company Eimskip.
