Samskip boosts Baltic Sea connections

Samskip advanced its strategic development in the Baltic Sea region by expanding service capacity and incorporating the port of Klaipeda into its network.

This extended service builds upon the earlier introduction of Samskip’s dedicated Baltic Sea shortsea service in November 2023.

As part of its expanded Baltic Sea service, Samskip will enhance capacity by deploying two 803 TEU container vessels on the trade route and add the Lithuanian port of Klaipeda into the fixed-day weekly sailing schedule, linking the United Kingdom and the Netherlands with Finland and the Baltic States.

Furthermore, the company will shift its UK port of call from Hull to the neighbouring Humber port of Immingham. This relocation ensures schedule consistency, facilitating seamless connectivity with Samskip’s owned truck fleet based in Immingham for efficient “last mile” deliveries.

This extension of service responds to customer demand for a dependable shortsea service in Finland and the Baltic States, with a strong emphasis on Customer Centricity. These guiding principles are now available to Lithuanian exporters, who can benefit from industry-leading transit times between Lithuania and the UK. Samskip vessels will depart from Klaipeda every Saturday morning, arriving three days later in Immingham on Tuesday morning.

“Service, reliability and the continuous enhancement of our customers’ experience have been and will remain our core values in this corridor. Fueled by the shortsea expertise in our DNA, our dedication to these values has driven Samskip to deliver market-leading reliability and customer experience since the kick-off of our Baltic Sea service last November. We are excited to roll out these customer-focused values to the Lithuanian market. Adding our truck fleet based in Immingham, we are able to offer customers a carefree and seamless door-to-door transport experience,” stated Johan van der Pijl, regional director – Baltic Sea of Samskip.
