Samskip to call at Port of Gothenburg on new short-sea service

Samskip is set to make its first ever call at APM Terminals (APMT) Gothenburg in April, marking the inauguration of a major investment in short-sea between Gothenburg and Europe.

The new service will call at APMT’s newly renovated quay, which has been specially adapted for shot-sea traffic, before sailing on to Aurhus, Runavik in the Faroe Islands, and then Reykjavik before arriving in Rotterdam.

Brian Bitsch, commercial manager at APMT, said: “The new call to the port not only offers a lifetime between Iceland and Sweden, but also marks the start of a competitive and sustainable short-sea offering from the Nordic region’s largest container port to the continent.
