Europa Air & Sea expanding into continental Europe
The UK-based transport and logistics company is opening its first Dutch base, located in Rotterdam. This move follows the operator’s plans for a new team in Delhi, India. The continued investment demonstrates how Europa is setting the pace in the market, the company said.
Europa Air & Sea began this strategy with the launch of Europa Air & Sea in China and UAE in 2022. The new team will be based at Marten Meesweg in Rotterdam, with handlers for shipments destined for locations across the world. This venture confirms the continued importance of the Netherlands as a hub in the international air and sea freight market, the company added.
The quantity of freight passing through the Port of Rotterdam remains virtually unchanged when compared with 2021, despite the impact of the global economic downturn and the war in Ukraine.
Since launching as a separate division in 2015, Europa Air & Sea’s extension has continued apace. Currently, the division has teams located in UK, Hong Kong and Shanghai (both in China) and Dubai (UAE). Europa Air & Sea is a privately-owned provider based in UK, with the three divisions Europa Road, Europa Air & Sea, and Europa Warehouse. The group employs over 1,400 people with 29 international sites with a record turnover of currently GBP 302 million (EUR 350.9 million). (ben)
