P&O Ferries har indgået en charteraftale med norske Siem omkring de to søster RoRo færger LONGSTONE og LISMORE.
“We are expanding our North Sea network in response to the demand from our customers. This long-term investment is just the first step of our expansion plan for this network. It is about having the right tonnage, underpinned by effective rail handling, to allow our customers to plan new opportunities. Boosting capacity on our routes between Tilbury and the continent of Europe is what our customers need, and will give them even greater direct access to London and its transport connections.”
Peter Hebblethwaite, CEO of P&O Ferries.
LONGSTONE er allerede leveret til P&O Ferries, og vil blive indsat på ruten Tilbury – Zeebrugge i starten af september. LISMORE er pt chartret af DFDS, hvor den sejler mellem Tyrkiet og Italien. Når denne aftale udløber i slutningen af 2025, vil den blive indsat for P&O Ferries.
