Increasing frequency to/from Esbjerg

Sea-Cargo is pleased to confirm the implementation phase II of the Esbjerg service – starting week 39/2007. Phase II include increased sailing profile by two direct weekly sailings in each direction. Capacity and flexibility will be substantially increased with a dedicated vessel allocated for the route - WC Norway/Esbjerg.

Sea-Cargo introduced a new hub to its liner network in July 07 – when a weekly service to/from Esbjerg was established by the use of the RORO vessel mv Nordia.

The service has been a great success, and the feedback from our customers has given us necessary comfort to introduce phase II already following this 3 months introduction period.

Phase II is being introduced as from week 39, with the first northbound sailing from Esbjerg Tuesday 25 September. Phase II include introduction of a dedicated vessel, with a revised twice weekly schedule designed to meet the market demand.

The Sea-Cargo liner system, which already includes Aberdeen, Immingham and Amsterdam – is as such complemented by yet another link into the centre of Europe.

Esbjerg is also an offshore port, and with direct calls into Tananger, Aberdeen, Ågotnes etc – this new link will provide the offshore bases with a new logistic solution not available today.

The Esbjerg link is result of close cooperation with existing clients, and the service has proved to be a cost effective solution with reduced transit time and less driving distances to/ from the main markets – especially to/from east Europe, Baltic - and Denmark.

The Esbjerg service will as from week 39 be operated by a dedicated vessel, which will run a two weekly schedule between Esbjerg and Bergen, including Tananger and Karmøy.
