SCA Logistics is moving its Benelux RoRo calls from Rotterdam to Vlissingen from 1 October 2026, under a five-year agreement with terminal operator Verbrugge International.
The operation is expected to handle 400,000–450,000 tonnes annually, including southbound kraftliner and pulp for Western and Central Europe, with recycled fibre, general cargo and RoRo cargo carried back to Sweden.
SCA says the shorter port call will save a couple of hours per trip, reducing emissions and costs. Verbrugge’s established forest-products hub also offers daily barge connections to Rotterdam and Antwerp.
To support the operation, Verbrugge is investing in RoRo infrastructure, including a ramp and floating pontoon.
The move forms part of SCA’s wider logistics restructuring. Separately, changes to its Swedish RoRo network are designed to enable slower sailing speeds and reduce emissions per transported tonne-kilometre by around 40% from October.
