Finnlines to extend freight network


Finnlines, a shipping operator of freight and passenger services in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the Bay of Biscay, is set to launch a new freight service from Finland to London Medway, managed by Peel Ports and located in Sheerness.

 

The first vessel will arrive on the Isle of Sheppey on 23 September. From there, customers can access the entire Finnlines and Grimaldi Group network via Belgium, opening expanded business opportunities. The service will be operated by three Finneco-class hybrid ro-ro vessels, each with a cargo capacity of 5,800 lane metres (400 trailers).

 

They are designed to enable faster and more efficient loading and unloading operations and offer more flexibility to load any type of cargo, long, heavy and up to a height of 7 m.

 

The vessels are equipped with advanced technologies such as air lubrication, a high-powered battery bank and solar panels. (ah)
