New short sea service is on


The shipping company Boluda Lines and the multimodal logistics company Samskip have launched a joint short-sea container service between the ports of Santander, Dublin and Liverpool. The service will be operated by the container ship “Lucía B”, with a nominal capacity of 803 teu.

 

The ship will depart from Santander every Saturday, bound for the port of Dublin (Ireland) and with a transit time of three days. Two days later the vessel will stop at the Royal Seaforth Container Terminal in Liverpool and then return to Spain.

 

The operations centre will be the container terminal that Boluda Maritime Terminals inaugurated in the port of Santander in April 2023, after an investment of close to EUR 40 million. This terminal can handle about 110,000 teu per year.

 

Simultaneously with this new short-distance maritime transport service, Samskip and Boluda Lines have launched rail connection services with Madrid and Seville and immediate distribution without storage time (cross-docking) in Santander to “maximise the operational and sustainability potential and penetration into the Cantabrian port market,” the partners said.
