Both of our respective Groups continue to undergo change and I wish to personally convey the positive impact on service as well as the range of services that are now available from Contship. It is a pleasure to engage directly with China Shipping HQ and I extend my warm appreciation for the on-going support of China Shipping to our Group.”

Michael Cashman, Commercial Director Marine Terminals, concludes: “We have been working hard to differentiate our product with an efficient link from port to door and vice versa. In managing the ship operations at the terminal, as well as the landside transportation, Contship product ensures a seamless transfer of containers both by truck and rail. In the latter case, “RAILability” is now enabling China Shipping imports from Asia to Italy to provide an extremely competitive end to end transit time, both to Italy and specific South Europe markets, as ships arrive on Fridays enabling a Monday morning delivery to receivers.”
