OPDR launches new service between Southern Spain & UK

OPDR, as part of the CMA CGM Group, has announced the introduction of its new POSS service. The service connects northern Continental Europe and the United Kingdom with Portugal and Southern Spain. The new link will service the Port of Seville which provides excellent hinterland connections by rail and truck to Madrid and the rest of Spain. With only four days from Andalusia to the U.K. ODPR claim that this new POSS offers the fastest transit in the market on this link.

The Port of Seville takes a special position in the new POSS service. The inland seaport, whose container terminal is managed by OPDR and Boluda, provides an ideal hinterland connection and perfectly links Seville with Madrid by truck and rail the company stated. Together with the established SECI service, which connects the Canary Islands with the Spanish mainland, OPDR now offers five Seville calls per week. The biggest port in Europe – the Port of Rotterdam – is linked with Seville in seven days.

Three ships are deployed in the new POSS service and will mainly carry refrigerated goods. All ships are equipped to carry pallet-wide equipment and therefore enable customers to ship more goods per container.
