Dutch shipping firm WEC Lines has expanded its existing service into the Port of Liverpool with a new series of weekly calls into the port from Northern Spain, Portugal, North Africa and the Canary Islands.
The weekly services are in addition to the existing Portuguese and Spanish routes operating at the British port since 2019.
The new direct weekly services began this month from Bilbao, Vigo, and Gijon in Spain, Casablanca in Morocco, Setubal and Leixoes in Portugal, and Santa Cruz and Las Palmas in the Canaries, and will import a variety of southern European and north African goods.
“This is a significant upgrade and expansion of our service, offering our customers weekly reliability and new direct connections to and from Portugal, Spain, Canaries and North Africa to Liverpool,” stated Roger Megann, Managing Director from WEC Lines.
