A weekly feeder service from Maersk will see ABP Humber's Hull Container Terminal handle 240 boxes per week.
“Unlocking this new trade gateway to the rest of the world is not only significant for the local economy, but also for the national and international economy,” said Simon Bird, ABP Humber Director.
“We’re proud to welcome the world’s largest container shipping line, Maersk, on board to the Hull Container Terminal, and we look forward to strengthening our partnership and building further trade links.”
The new service will add around 12,000 containers year to the terminal which can handle 240,000 teu a year.
Asbjorn Kops, Maersk’s product manager for UK & Ireland, said: “At Maersk, we continuously work on improving our local product offering, ensuring that our portfolio meets the expectations of our customers and helps them grow their business. Our short-sea connections complement our ocean services and connect our customers with markets around the world.”
