Containerships add Port of Cork to BENI Service

Containerships add Port of Cork to BENI service

On september 1st 2020, Containerships is adding a call to Cork to the BENI service (Currently Dublin-Rotterdam). This new call increases Containerships coverage in Ireland and offers a fast transit time.

The Loadstar also reported that Containerships is mainly targeting Irish door-to-door domestic business, but its new services are expected to give priority to CMA CGM feeders and says it is “open for container bookings from any source”.

In addition to Peel Ports-owned BGF, the Irish feeder market is dominated by ICG’s Eucon and Netherlands-based Samskip (in co-operation).

Deepsea connections are heavily focused on transhipment from Ireland via Rotterdam, but feeder networks also serve Antwerp and Le Havre as well as the UK ports of Southampton and Felixstowe. However, uncertainty over a no-deal Brexit could see a reduction in relays via UK ports.
