Customers that need to move container transports between the Port of Southampton and the destinations of Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Greenock, South Shields, Grangemouth and Portugal have a new service they can use. It was announced the other day that one feeder operator would begin providing weekly services between these destinations in the future, which will give customers that need to move container transports between the locations in question another option. This new service apparently means that they’re five current container transport services available for customers between these destinations. It also means that customers have a nice variety of shipping services to select from and the companies involved have competition that pushes them to improve services for customers.
Is this too much capacity for the ports in question? This is an interesting question, but certainly one that will be answered in the future. One would think that there are maybe agreements in place that were one of the main reasons for the company in question enhancing services between the destinations in question. One thing is for sure, there’s going to be a more ships traveling between the Ports of Southampton, Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Greenock, South Shields, Grangemouth and Portugal in the weeks and months ahead.
If the customers that the new service needs to be healthy and competitive show up for a ride, the shipping company in question is going to be pretty busy in the future. If things go as well as the company has planned for their new shipping service, they might even think about adding more services between these destinations in the future. All of this of course all depends on many factors, but it’s certainly something that the company in question has taken into account.
