OOCL moves Polish feeder service to ICTSI Gdynia

HONG KONG's Ocean Overseas Container Line (OOCL) is transferring its container feeder service in Poland to the International Container Terminal Services Inc (ICTSI) Baltic Container Terminal (BCT) in the Port of Gdynia.

The transfer of OOCL's feeder service from Gdansk to the BCT starts this July. The feeder service, which is part of the liner's Scan Baltic Express (SBX) service, will have two calls a week.

"Our strength in the areas of productivity, safety, technology and reliable customer service is our competitive advantage. OOCL will also benefit from our reasonable fees. Our total package, from the level of service to the value of what our clients pay for, is what the Polish market needs during these demanding times in the container transport sector," said BCT president Krzysztof Szymborski in a ICTSI statement.

Mr Szymborski sees the entry of OOCL in BCT as an opportunity to forge a long-term partnership.

Leszek Walkusz, OOCL Polska country manager, said that OOCL's collaboration with BCT "will prove beneficial for all parties participating in the transport process" facilitating development of OOCL in the Polish market.

OOCL's collaboration with BCT is seen to provide OOCL customers with best solutions with respect to technology, integrated container and logistics transport services.

BCT is one of the largest maritime terminals in the southern part of the Baltic Sea. Owing to its strategic location and being the largest reloading capacity in Poland, the terminal is considered as Poland's "window to the world" added the statement.
