New container shipping line Sea Connect to link Tallinn with Rotterdam

Juhan Tere, BC, Tallinn, 12.10.2010.Print version
The container ship operator Sea Connect will start a new line – Rotterdam-Tallinn-St. Petersburg-Rotterdam starting from Wednesday, October 13, LETA/BBN reports.

Currently Tschudi Lines runs a once-a-week connection between Estonia and Rotterdam, which is not sufficient to meet the local market's needs for transit operations, the company said.

 

The transit time from Rotterdam to Tallinn will be four days, a day or two less than now, whereas the transit time to St. Petersburg will be one day.

 

Sea Connect is a Lithuania-based container feeder and short sea services.

 

The enterprise operates high­frequency services between Europe's major ports including St. Petersburg.

 

The company first started operating between Rotterdam and St. Petersburg in 2006. Soon the Hamburg call was added to rotation. The company is continuously improving service standards.

 

Sea Connect vessels are modern 700 TEU ice classed 1A containerships equipped with 150-200 reefer plugs each.
