The shortsea multimodal operator now offers a near-daily frequency with arrivals at the Kent port each week on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

“London Thamesport offers its customers a service tailored to their specific demands and we are delighted that A2B-online continues to go from strength-to-strength,” said Mark Taylor, director, London Thamesport.

“Demand in the short-sea container market continues to grow as shippers look for a reliable and predictable service offering which is something we deliver by working closely with our customers and maintaining a sharp focus on service-delivery.”

A2B-online has already extended its reach into Europe in 2025 with two new sustainable onward carriage options – a new barge service between Moerdijk and Duisburg, and the launch of A2B-online Express, an intermodal rail service between Moerdijk and Melzo in Italy.

“We have been working with London Thamesport for 11 years,” said Michael van Keulen, managing director of A2B-online.

“Their dedication, flexibility and focus on operational excellence match our values and have helped drive our growth over that time.”
