P&O Ferrymasters has launched a multimodal service from Italy to Norway, further expanding its pan-European logistics network.
The new multimodal Mediterranean-Scandinavia service includes rail links between the main terminals in northern Italy and the key ports of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Moerdijk in the Netherlands.
Goods are then shipped by sea from the Netherlands to three key ports in the west of Norway, Tananger, Bergen and Ålesund. Other ports can be used to minimise road journeys in Norway, saving time and reducing carbon emissions.
From Italy to the Netherlands, goods can be transported by rail or road using 45-foot PW containers, swap body units or tilt trailers, using full truckload (FTL), full container load (FCL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) transport options.
Customers can also move their heavy and oversized cargo using P&O Ferrymasters’ specialist Project Cargo service, no matter how big, heavy or complex their goods are.
Thorsten Runge, Managing Director of P&O Ferrymasters, said: “The investments we are making in new equipment, new sites and new capabilities, all have one purpose – to solve supply chain challenges.
“As those challenges become ever more complex, we are using our deep sector knowledge to help customers drive efficiency by eliminating waste in their supply chains.
“Any customer importing food, wine, chemicals or construction materials into Norway from southern Europe can take advantage of this new cost effective and market leading service.”
P&O Ferries is a pan-European ferry and logistics company, last year sailing 27,000 times on eight major routes between Britain, France, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Holland and Belgium.
