OOCL launches new Gothenburg route
2009/3/31
Hong Kong-based shipping line OOCL is intensifying its focus on the Port of Gothenburg, and in April a new route will be launched for exports to Asia, North America and Australia.
In March publicly listed Hong Kong shipping line OOCL, one of the largest shipping lines in the world, became a customer at the Port of Gothenburg.
A loop was started that was mainly used to transport import goods from Asia, Australia and North America to Russia via the Port of Gothenburg.
This initiative proved so successful that the company has now chosen to start another route to the Port of Gothenburg. This time the vessels are loaded with export goods from Russia, Poland and Sweden, destined for Asia, Australia and North America. Transhipment takes place in Hamburg.
The loop will be St Petersburg; Gdansk; Gothenburg; Hamburg; Gdansk; St Petersburg.
The vessels will visit the Port of Gothenburg each week, which means that OOCL will now put into Gothenburg twice weekly.
