P&O Ferries strengthens North Sea presence with new London-Rotterdam freight route

P&O Ferries has announced the opening of a new RoRo freight route in the North Sea, between London (Tilbury 2) and Rotterdam (Europoort), starting in March 2024. This service will complement P&O Ferries’ existing Zeebrugge to London route together with strengthening its rail-connected hub in Rotterdam.  

“The opening of our new route between London and Rotterdam gives P&O Ferries a unique network in the North Sea,” said Peter Hebblethwaite, P&O Ferries’ CEO.  

“We now have five hubs: Hull, Teesport, Tilbury, Zeebrugge and Europort, connecting the north-east and south-east of England with the continent. We will offer our freight customers the earliest arrival on the Thames from Rotterdam, along with swift access to the M25 and terminal rail connections. The opening of the London-Rotterdam route will mark another significant step in our business transformation and further contribute to the end-to-end logistics service offered by our parent company, DP World.”
