Teesport attracts new MacAndrews service

MacAndrews has upgraded its existing Scan-Baltic service to include Teesport as its preferred North-east coast gateway.  The new weekly service, which commenced this week, connects the port with Iberia, Sweden and Poland.

Geoff Smith, managing director of MacAndrews, said: “This [move] is in line with MacAndrews business goals to continue to expand and offer dynamic services to the market, giving alternatives for greener logistics and cost competitive solutions for our customers.  Calling at Teesport further enhances our existing Iberian, Scandinavian, Baltic and Russian network.”

Frans Calje, PD Ports’ managing director unitised, commented: “I am delighted to announce that we are MacAndrews port of choice on the North-east coast and have successfully welcomed the first of two 800 teu vessels, which will operate the service”.
