Unifeeder is enhancing the services connecting Copenhagen with three German hub ports by scheduling an additional weekly container ship call to Copenhagen Malmö Port’s (CMP) terminals in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Starting from November 16th, CMP’s container terminal in Copenhagen is served with one additional container ship call every week. This additional service means that we are connecting Copenhagen with the three major German hub ports: Hamburg twice a week - Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven once a week.
New route will double the weekly service
The vast majority - currently close to 90% - of container goods arriving by ship to Zealand is handled by CMP"
The new route is doubling the weekly service, enabling local and regional companies to grow their business to and from Zealand, Denmark.
Sune Norup Christensen, CCO at Copenhagen Malmö Port, said “The vast majority - currently close to 90% - of container goods arriving by ship to Zealand is handled by CMP. The additional weekly Unifeeder call will ensure even better connectivity between Copenhagen and the major Northern European hub ports.”
Sune Norup Christensen continues, “The capital region and Zealand is a growing market. The city of Copenhagen expects that there will be 100,000 additional Copenhageners before 2050, increasing the need for amongst other things goods shipped by container.”
Expanded opportunities for direct connections
Unifeeder’s Area Director - Scandinavia, Jens Juel Rasmussen, said “We are pleased that we can add an extra weekly call to Copenhagen in collaboration with CMP.”
Jens Juel Rasmussen adds, “Naturally, we hope that our customers, and especially importers/exporters in Zealand, will benefit from the expanded opportunities for direct connections to all three transit ports in Germany – Hamburg, Bremerhaven, and Wilhelmshaven.”
