Starting from the end-March 2022, the container carrier will weekly connect the Baltic seaports of Klaipėda, Gdynia and Gothenburg and the North Sea Bremerhaven with New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk.

The Lithuanian Intermodal Container Service is trialling a potentially regular service connecting its Kaunas facility with DCT Gdańsk.

The Primorsk-located facility would handle fertilisers, some 11-12mt per year, with the first shipments arriving in 2023 and the construction fully completed in 2024.

The Russian company has put in place a multimodal container service linking South Korea and Germany via the Far East and Baltic Russia.

The Klaipėda-based container line will be renamed Samskip Sea Connect.

Subject to approval by competition authorities, the Danish freight forwarder specialising in serving trade between Scandinavia and Eastern Europe will become part of DFDS.

The company has combined two previously separate services to introduce BALT 7 that links the ports of Gdynia, Klaipėda, Teesport, and Tilbury.

The two countries want to add more volume to the already existing container services (from Klaipėda to Odessa and Kiev), set up one for the transportation of trailers (Klaipėda-Odessa), and rail-connect Kyiv, Minsk, Vilnius and Riga together.

The multinational consultancy has won the safety, reliability, availability and maintainability (RAMS) contract, awarded by RB Rail AS, a consortium that's in charge of setting up the standard-gauge freight & passenger 1,000 km-long rail line from Estonia to Poland.

Responding to a request submitted by the Flemish-Dutch port authority of North Sea Port, the European Commission will prolong the Corridor in question to also include the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal Zone.
