As from 28 January operating daily departures to the UK ex C.C.T. Moerdijk
‘This is a magnificent moment for all of us’ expresses an excited Managing Director Gerard de Groot, ‘it is fantastic to see that our initial service that we started last year summer has been picked up by so many customers which enables us now to start up this new route to London Thamesport.`
He continues: ‘Naturally we have investigated various options in the South however there are not that many actually that were suitable. Of course we have looked at Tilbury as well, but as the Management of Tilbury had identified themselves, they could not guarantee the high service levels that we expect from a terminal. Besides fast turnaround times at the terminal we need an efficient and effective ships operation as well; that is why we decided for London Thamesport’.
London Thamesport
Commenting on the new service, Clemence Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of Hutchison Ports (UK) Limited, owners of London Thamesport, said: `London Thamesport offers its customers a service tailored to their specific demands. A2B-online have made clear their need for an exceptional level of service, which is what we pride ourselves on and which we are ready and able to provide.`
Gerard de Groot continues: ‘We will start 28th of January with the MS `Expansa’, a 340 TEU containership with a three weekly service from Moerdijk ( C.C.T.) to London Thamesport. It is furthermore our intention to add one additional sailing per week after three months, meaning servicing London Thamesport four times a week. That is the advantage of London Thamesport, no locks to go through, shorter crossings and quick handlings of the ship.’
A2B-online’s Commercial Director, André Mast fastens to add: ‘we can sell an A-B service on that principle which for containerized business is unique.`
