The port authority of the Sardinian ports officially announced that Grendi Trasporti Marittimi will be granted a short-term concession of an area in the port of Olbia in order to make possible for the shipping line to add this port in the regular rotation which links Cagliari and Marina di Carrara. The liner at first asked a concession in Golfo Aranci but this solution was not viable due to several reasons.

During February, Grendi will also take delivery of the ship WEDELLSBORG. The one-year charter of roro SEVERINE is coming to an end.

Connecting Ireland after Brexit

Ireland has ramped up direct shipping routes to mainland Europe since the end of the Brexit transition period. This has resulted in new routes and the addition of tonnage capacity.

Rather than giving the information in bits and pieces we want to keep an overall view on the market. That’s why we start with this weekly feature: a logbook of what’s happening.

Feedback is always welcome.
