In the late evening of 6 December 2016, Icelandic shipping line Eimskip’s MV Dettifoss called at EUROGATE Container Terminal Bremerhaven for the first time. The following day a tour of the MV Dettifoss took place with Jan Felix Großbruchhaus, Managing Director of Eimskip Germany, Matthias Matthiasson, Vice President Eimskip Iceland, Emanuel Schiffer, Chairman of the EUROGATE Group Management Board, Joern Kamrad, Director Sales and Alexander Prahl, General Manager Sales. At 2 pm, the vessel departed on schedule for Aarhus.
In addition to container freight, Eimskip also transports break-bulk/LCL cargo to Iceland, and will therefore also draw on the services of the Container Freight Station (CFS) directly at the terminal. With its proximity to the fishing industry, Bremerhaven is the ideal location for the Icelandic shipping line, which also specialises in reefer cargo. BLG Coldstore, the region’s biggest commercial coldstore, is located directly at the container terminal.
From now on the MV Dettifoss and MV Godafoss, each with a transport capacity of 1,474 standard containers (TEUs), will dock at EUROGATE Container Terminal Bremerhaven once a week.
