Shipping route to connect Wilmington to European ports
Starting April 1, the new route will bring a weekly container vessel to Wilmington on its way from northern Europe to New York. The route is operated by the 2M network, a vessel-sharing alliance between the first and second largest shipping container companies, Maersk and the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC).
The route, called NEUTAL2 by MSC and TA2 by Maersk, will connect Wilmington to the North Atlantic port of Bremerhaven, one of Germany’s most important ports, as well as Felixstowe, the largest shipping container port in the United Kingdom.
The other European ports of call are Antwerp in Belgium and Le Harve in France. Across the Atlantic, the route also connects Savannah, Baltimore, Norfolk and New York. Savannah and Wilmington are the latest cities to join the route.
