Samskip launches new Blyth route

Samskip is enhancing its UK trade strategy with a new direct connection offering multimodal options for northeast England

Samskip has launched a new shortsea container service calling at the Port of Blyth, and linking the UK with other European trade hubs.

This expansion strengthens its presence in northeast England, offering shippers a cost-efficient and sustainable transport alternative that connects to Samskip’s wider European network.

The Blyth service brings direct weekly sailings between Blyth and Rotterdam, fast transshipment to European markets via Samskip’s hub network, and regular departures and reliable transit schedules.

“Expanding to Blyth supports our mission to be closer to our customers and provide agile, multimodal solutions tailored to their evolving needs,” says Samskip Manager Sales & Operations, Scott Montgomery. “This new service opens up exciting opportunities for regional shippers seeking dependable and environmentally conscious logistics.”

This launch represents Samskip’s renewed focus and commitment to enhancing its UK trade offerings. With the addition of Blyth, the company is expanding port options and says it is strengthening service reliability, reaching new customers, and supporting its UK client base with improved access to European markets.

As it invests in this new chapter, Samskip is inviting  new and returning customers to rediscover what it can offer — with local care, smarter routing, and the backing of one of Europe’s largest multimodal networks.

The Port of Blyth was selected for its strategic location, modern infrastructure, and growing importance as a regional logistics hub. Its proximity to key industrial zones and ports of entry makes it an important part of Samskip’s UK strategy.
