In February, Zim, one of its most important transhipment customers, shifted one of its services from Barcelona to the nearby port of Tarragona, where it has a joint-venture at the Contarsa terminal with DP World.
In March, Evergreen moved its traffic from TCB to rival terminal Tercat, which is majority-owned by HPH.
Between them, Zim and Evergreen accounted for 200,000 teu of annual traffic. Zim has, however, signed a contract with X-Press Container Line, which will provide a three times a week feeder service between Barcelona and Tarragona.
