20/11/09 - Introducing our new service, GXD Short Sea

We are pleased to announce the introduction of GXD Short Sea, a new service for GXDanbrit, but with old and established traditions of maintaining trading links between the UK and the continent of Europe, Export & Import, using 40’ & 45’ Palletwide Containers with regular, scheduled sailings between the inland ports of Goole and Duisburg. The vessels are purpose built to navigate not only the sea crossing, but to go further inland, in the case of Goole, 50km from the mouth of the Humber. Duisburg, in the very heart of industrial Germany is reached via the Rhine and in addition to saving substantial road miles, the port also has freight rail links with services throughout Europe. We will be basing the service on our doorstep as Goole is the home port of one of the more established routes, however GXDanbrit will be able to utilise this route and others to serve Northern Europe, we can also arrange Imports and Exports in containers from and to Spain, via Bilbao which is rail connected, these services are all eco friendly as they do have a large impact on reducing the number of road miles your goods travel and they can save you on freight costs too!.
