Increased reliability and capacity on Norway service
As from week 42 Samskip Multimodal Container Logistics will improve its Norwegian service schedule, which will increase the reliability and punctuality of the service. In the new schedule the two Samskip vessels will call into three ports instead of four. By decreasing the amount of ports per sailing Samskip is able to decrease the deviations in the arrival and departure times. Furthermore the new service will offer an increased capacity on the Oslo, Moss, Brevik and Kristiansand service.
