The Dutch Nieuwleusen-based Westerman Multimodal Logistics will set up a new transshipment facility, for handling combined container & truck sea-road-rail freight, in the Port of Malmö.
The shipping line has launched a new six days of lead time route that connects Rotterdam Short Sea Terminals with First Container Terminal and Sea Fishing Port Terminal.
The combined service, launched in August 2019 in partnership with Modul and Global Ports, saw its first eastbound train dispatched from St. Petersburg on 28 March.
The shipping line has partnered with GoodFuels, a supplier of sustainable marine biofuel, to test the use of the company's Bio-Fuel Oil (MR1-100 or BFO) on the Autosky car carrier.
Rainmaking, a corporate innovation and venture development firm, has matched Cargotec, HHLA, Inmarsat, Shell, and Wärtsilä with a total of eight start-ups through its Trade & Transport Impact Programme.
The four short sea 1A ice class 5,800 dwt-big lo-lo gas-run ships, currently under construction at the Chinese WuHu Shipyard, will feature a host of technologies developed by the Finnish company.
The shipping line, part of CMA CGM, has received from the Chinese Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard Containerships Polar, its second in a series of four 1,380 TEUs-big (incl. 360 reefer plugs) gas-run vessels.
