CLdN launches new Zeebrugge-Cork-Dublin service

CLdN launch a new weekly service between Zeebrugge and Ireland on 10 May. CLdN chartered an 800 TEU lift-on/lift-off (lo-lo) cargo vessel JSP Rover that will ship container cargo between its Albert II terminal in Zeebrugge and Cork/Dublin.

The introduction of the new lo-lo service will also enable a further optimization of CLdN’s roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) fleet deployment, thereby increasing customer options on the routes between Zeebrugge and Ireland.

The addition of a lo-lo service at the Port of Cork marks a strategic expansion of CLdN’s offering for customers through this important access point to and from the Republic of Ireland.

The new service responds to continuing growth in customer demand to move freight between mainland Europe and Ireland. It builds on the successful combination of lo-lo and ro-ro services being offered from CLdN’s Rotterdam terminals since last year and is part of CLdN’s broader lo-lo strategy thatincludes the construction of new-build container vessels for delivery as from January 2027.

The additional lo-lo sailing complements the four ro-ro sailings each week from Zeebrugge to Ireland (two to Cork and two to Dublin). It brings to 14 the number of weekly return sailings between Ireland and CLdN’s main continental hubs of Rotterdam and Zeebrugge.
