WEC Lines will enhance its ISS service and rename it ISS-PT from 10 September.
The renewed weekly short-sea service will strengthen connections between southern Spain and Northwest Europe. It will use Setúbal, Portugal, as a transshipment hub for import and export cargo.
WEC Lines said the enhanced service responds to demand for reliable short-sea transport. It also provides an alternative to long-distance road transportation.

- Valencia

Vessel deployment and equipment
WEC Lines will operate the service with two dedicated vessels of 868 TEUs each. The vessels will complete a 14-day rotation, supporting a weekly frequency.
Available equipment will include 45-foot high-cube pallet-wide containers. WEC Lines will also provide 40-foot and 45-foot reefer containers for frozen and perishable cargo.
