shortsea hub status for Teesport

Carrier company Containerships has chosen to use the port, which is the UK’s third largest by volume, to link its new Mediterranean services with its more traditional Baltic routes. Initially there will be two ships on this route, operating at a 12 or 13 day frequency: this means that Containerships will be making five calls a week in total at Teesport.

Plans are in place to increase the frequency along the new route to reach a targeted increase of 20,000 teu which will bring the total volume fed by Containerships through Teesport to almost 80,000 teu a year.
