London Thamesport handles new service to Bilbao

Hutchison Ports London Thamesport has received the first call of a new WEC Line service to Bilbao, marking its second new short-sea sailing in less than a week.

According to the operator, the Spanish short sea market has typically suffered from a lack of options when it comes to carrier choice.

Mark Taylor, director at London Thamesport, said: “Brexit has shaken up the European logistics landscape with more and more operators seeking the reliability and predictability afforded by short sea container services.”
