Unifeeder increases capacity and coverage to the UK
In order to fulfill the strong market demands during the upcoming peak season, Unifeeder is adding a larger vessel to their direct service to the UK from the Baltic Sea. The new vessel has a capacity of 800 TEU and is very suitable for transporting 45’ containers.
With two weekly sailings to the UK and bigger vessel intake, their customers will enjoy an increased capacity from the UK to Poland as well as improved transit time out of Riga.
The new vessel has a capacity of 800 TEU and is very suitable for transporting 45’ containers. 45’ PWHC containers can take 32% more pallets than a standard 40’ unit and exactly the same amount of cargo as a traditional trailer.
They can take the equivalent of up to 240 truck loads’ off the road and on board our vessel. As a consequence, they are providing a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to road transport for those discerning shippers, seeking a ‘greener’ form of transport for their goods, whilst retaining a competitive.
