WEC Lines, Dutch shipping liner and owner, is thrilled to announce the opening of their new Nantes office, marking an exciting milestone in their company’s journey.

The new office, located at 16 Quai Ernest Renaud, 44105 Nantes, France, is situated right in the centre of the city, overlooking the Loire River, further enhancing its ability to oversee all operational matters at the Port of Nantes Saint-Nazaire with an owned vessel calling this container terminal once a week.

“We are delighted to inaugurate our new office in Nantes, France, a reflection of our commitment to solidify our short sea and deep sea operations in the French market,” said Caesar Luikenaar, CEO WEC Lines. “This expansion will allow us to serve the local market better and provide a sustainable, but fast and reliable alternative to road transport within France to/from the United Kingdom, Portugal and Spain. We aim to quickly develop Montoir-de-Bretagne into a full-stop port as part of our short sea network offering all types of containers including 45ft HCPW and 45ft refrigerated containers.”

WEC Lines’ expansion into Nantes aligns with our mission to establish ourselves as true specialists in our geographical areas combined with a personal approach and is a testament to our dedication to providing high frequent, environmentally friendly container shipping solutions, avoiding road transport where possible while working towards a net zero transport network by 2050.

We wish Office Manager Mr. Perrin and Supervisor Customer Services Mrs. Romane Cariou much success in this new adventure!
