OPDR is enhancing its European portfolio with a new service connecting continental Europe, the UK and Norway.

The new weekly PENN service will link Rotterdam with the British east coast and the Norwegian ports of Oslo, Moss and Brevik.

OPDR will also try to take advantage of Rotterdam’s rail connection with Germany and Italy while Hamburg will be added as an additional hub port in November.

Two ships will be deployed on the service and carry 45ft pallet wide high cube reefer containers.

The port rotation will be as follows: Rotterdam – Immingham – Teesport – Grangemouth – Rotterdam – Oslo – Moss – Brevik – Rotterdam.
