Samskip Sea Connect is born


It's an acquisition with a Baltic perspective: the Dutch group Samskip is buying Sea Connect, a Klaipeda (Lithuania)-based shipping company that offers shortsea services connecting Russia, Lithuania, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands.

 

The operator runs three 1A Ice Class container vessels calling twice a week at St. Petersburg and Rotterdam, weekly at Hamburg and at Aarhus sub inducement. The new brand will be a combination of both names: Samskip Sea Connect.

 

This acquisition consolidates Samskip’s commitments to the Baltic region, following its acquisition of Norlines in 2017 and the creation of a separate Finnish entity earlier this year.

 

Sea Connect managing director Viacheslav Puzemskij and SCS-Russia managing director Anton Larkin will both retain their positions in the new organisation, working with Johan van der Pijl, Samskip regional director Baltics and Russia. (cd)
