WEC Lines launches fast weekly call between Hamburg and Portugal           

WEC Lines has announced the addition of Hamburg, Germany to its existing NWC-Portugal service in one seamless operation.

As of September 23rd, WEC Lines will include Hamburg in its NWC-Portugal service. With this new addition, the Dutch shipping liner and owner establishes a fast weekly sailing route from Hamburg to Leixões and Setúbal in Portugal. By departing from Hamburg on Sundays, arriving in Leixões on Saturdays and Setúbal on Mondays, this service offers an eco-friendly alternative to truck transport from Germany into Portugal.

The ports of call include Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, Leixões, Setúbal and Montoir, forming a well-connected bridge between these vital trade hubs. The new weekly service will be performed by two dedicated 1,000-TEU vessels in a 14-day fixed rotation, with optimal short sea and hinterland linkages, to provide customers with a heightened level of flexibility and efficiency.

“By adding Hamburg to our short sea services, we offer a fast and reliable solution for our Portuguese clients into Northwestern Europe and vice versa,” stated Caesar Luikenaar, Managing Director WEC Lines. “This underlines our commitment to respond to market demand while offering continued optimal solutions for our existing client base.”
