Unifeeder Shortsea: New weekly service from Dunkerque to Russia

Unifeeder Shortsea extends its presence to France with its feeder and shortsea network represented by AM-Agence Maritime Rommel
 
To meet growing customer demands, Unifeeder is now expanding its network with a new weekly service from Dunkerque in Northern France, starting in November. The new traffic will provide a weekly service to St. Petersburg as well as connections via Rotterdam to the extensive Unifeeder network 
 
 “After a great success with the opening of our Antwerp to St. Petersburg service in the beginning of 2012 and with increasing cargo volumes from France, we feel confident that there is a highly interesting market in France”, says Simon H. Galsgaard, Director Shortsea Services. 
 
With the new Dunkerque service, Unifeeder will also introduce reefer containers as an option for the food industry for this specific corridor. “We know that there is a big demand for reefer containers and we are therefore ready to offer high quality food graded equipment on the new service”, says Simon H. Galsgaard. Unifeeder will be represented the first time in France by AMR-Agence Maritime Rommel S.A.
 
As one of the largest and best connected feeder and shortsea network in Northern Europe, Unifeeder transports containers from the large European container hubs in Belgium, UK, Germany and the Netherlands to more than 35 regional ports across the UK, the Nordic Region, the Baltic States and Russia. Starting in 2012, Unifeeder introduced new services in the Western Mediterranean Sea covering Spain, Algeria, Tunisia and Malta.
 
The Unifeeder Shortsea department provides fully multimodal and flexible door-to-door solutions, combining seaborne transportation with road and/or rail.
