The Swedish part of Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) has been included in the weekly feeder loop that connects Hamburg and Bremerhaven with Malmö, Åhus and Södertälje.

The Germany Sweden Express (GSX) is served by the 101 by 18 m Anna G, offering 509 TEUs capacity.

"X-Press Feeders are always open for new business proposals and our lean, independent structure allows us to react swiftly to markets' demand. When we were approached for the call into Malmö, the decision was taken quickly. The service, open to all lines and NVOCC [non-vessel operating common carrier] with shippers' own containers, offers a fast and reliable solution into Malmö and Skåne," said Sven Siemsen, Senior Manager Marketing Europe at X-Press Feeders.

Ann-Charlotte Halldén Åkeson, Sales Director, CMP, added, "We look forward to our collaboration with X-Press Feeders, which also creates new opportunities for other customers and partners. Malmö has a great strategic location both for transport to and from Europe and as a regional hub with short local transport links. Here, we can offer pure intermodal solutions with large areas for transhipments to trains and road networks. This provides scope for both efficient handling and flexible solutions."
