Ferry company Unifeeder has announced it is launching short sea services that will run from Antwerp and Dunkerque to Teesport and Grangemouth in Scotland.

The new ferry services Will now open up road cargo across mainland Europe with shorter times and distances in and out of the northern United Kingdom.

The new Unifeeder ferry routes complement services that link Rotterdam with reports of Felixstowe, Immingham and South Shields.

Kim Catterick, PD Ports’ general manager key accounts & customer development, said: “Short-sea services are the lifeblood of our ports and this partnership with Unifeeder offers more routes in and out of Europe and into the UK.”
