In November the shipping company SUN Line Shipping introduced a brand new Rotterdam ˗ Stockholm ˗ Hull container service route. This means that Stockholm Norvik Port now has two new destination connections, further strengthening the port’s status as an important logistics hub in the Greater Stockholm area.
The new Rotterdam ˗ Stockholm ˗ Hull container service route was inaugurated on 11th November. Shipping company SUN Line Shipping, a subsidiary of ThorSvecon Group AB (TSG AB), has increased its fleet and has introduced the container ship Perseus on the route. The vessel has a 660 TEU cargo capacity and will sail to and from Stockholm Norvik Port one day each week.
Important logistics hub
“We have seen a continuous increase in demand from freight owners wanting to transport goods between Sweden, the Netherlands, and England, and now the time is right. Operating from Sweden’s newest port, Stockholm Norvik, feels like a natural step and is completely aligned with our goal of strengthening our position in east coast shipping,” explains Eric Hjalmarsson, CEO of TSG AB.
Rotterdam and Hull are two brand new destinations that can now be reached from Stockholm Norvik Port, consolidating the port’s position as an important logistics hub in the Greater Stockholm area.
