P&O Ferrymasters lifts CEE trailer capacity
P&O Ferrymasters to lease 200 coilers for CEE and 100 huckepack trailers for rail services from Rotterdam and Zeebrugge to Eastern Europe
Pan-European logistics specialist P&O Ferrymasters is expanding its CEE fleet by leasing a further 300 trailers from TIP Trailer Services in a new seven-year deal with one of Europe’s leading equipment services providers. The deal covers 200 coilers for deployment in central Europe and 100 huckepack trailers to boost the P&O Ferrymasters intermodal fleet operating on rail services from Rotterdam and Zeebrugge to Eastern Europe and vice versa.
Manufactured by Germany’s Schmitz Cargobull AG, all the new trailers will feature the company’s recently updated logo, which gives a more modern look to the familiar P&O Ferrymasters flag emblem to underline the company’s place in today’s ultra-contemporary freight market.
The latest agreement with TIP maintains a close 12-year relationship that also includes trailer maintenance. P&O Ferrymasters assets director Wim Blomme says: “This stage of our asset renewal programme takes our Europe-wide trailer fleet to a total of 1,400 units and meets particular demand for extra capacity in key growth markets in central and eastern Europe. The fleet will be further expanded on a similar scale in 2015.”
P&O Ferrymasters is one of Europe’s leading specialists in tailor-made transportation, logistics and supply chain solutions. With origins from 1953, the company is part of P&O Ferries – owned by Dubai World – and operates from 22 strategic locations in 12 European countries.
