NCL has confirmed that it will commence a new, direct weekly container service from Norway to the UK on 23 September when MV “Rumba” will make its first call at London Container Terminal, Tilbury.
The coronavirus pandemic dealt a severe blow to global merchandise trade. Data from weekly port calls by container ships show early but uneven signs of recovery.
Just over a year after its launch in August 2019, Maersk’s AE19 ocean-rail product from Asia to Europe becomes a permanent weekly service responding to increased customer demand.
