New service to connect Hull and Amsterdam

A new service connecting Hull and Amsterdam has been announced which will add 30,000 teu per year to the Port of Hull’s throughput.

The Samskip service will begin in mid-March and will depart on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, and comes off the back of investment in Hull’s container terminal, which is operated by Associated British Ports (ABP).

ABP Humber Director Simon Bird said: “Our multi-user container terminals in Hull and Immingham are ready to facilitate further expansion in container services linking the UK and the Continent.
