Baltic Sea Bridge to expand
Since the end of March, Mukran Port Terminals has been operating, in cooperation with DBO Bahnoperator, a fixed sea route, flagged "Baltic Sea Bridge", as part of the New Silk Road between Asia and Europe.
In the first ten weeks of continued operation, with a weekly departure from Baltijsk (Kaliningrad region in Russia) to Mukran Port, the partners shipped a total of 2,200 teu. This excellent result has now led to the frequency of departures being increased to twice a week.
Baltic Sea Bridge and DBO Bahnoperator, which is responsible for capacity utilisation on the Silk Road route, jointly decided to take this step after evaluating the first weeks of operation. They will deploy a more modern vessel, the shipping company's own MS "Constance", which has a capacity of more than 300 tdw. (mw)
