P&O Ferrymasters and Transmec launch an intermodal CEE service

New intermodal Belgium-Romania service offers customers of P&O Ferrymasters and Transmec Group an eco-friendly transport solution

Pan-European logistics specialists P&O Ferrymasters and Transmec Group have joined forces to launch an intermodal Belgium-Romania service with three departures per week each way by dedicated train.

Running direct between terminals in Zeebrugge (Belgium) and Curtici in Romania, it starts on September 26 and offers a fast, cost-effective, eco-friendly and flexible solution for moves across northern, central and eastern Europe. The first train leaves Zeebrugge on September 26, arriving in Curtici on September 28. The first Curtici departure is on October 1, arriving Zeebrugge on October 3.

The time-saving no-transhipment service features collect and ship capability in the UK, Ireland, northern France, the German Ruhr, Russia, Finland and Hungary as well as Benelux and Romania. In addition, forward shipment by road to or from the Balkans, Turkey, Ukraine, Moldova and Bulgaria can be arranged in Curtici, together with on-site import/export clearance, cross-docking and transhipment into secure warehousing and short-sea connections from Constanta and Varna to Black Sea countries.

Transit times are also optimised by a short pre-advice notice facility. Typical schedules include Benelux-Romania 4 days, Benelux-Istanbul 5/6 days, UK-Romania 5/6 days and UK-Istanbul 7 days. Year-round availability will be assured by deploying an own-asset P&O Ferrymasters/Transmec fleet of more than 2,000 45’ palletwide high cube containers and 300 13.60m Huckepack trailers under the direct control of a dedicated office network. Cargo capability includes reefer transport of chilled goods and all the main ADR/RID hazardous categories.
