CLdN to further expand Dublin services 

CLdN today announced a further expansion of its Irish Sea services. This follows the decision by Dublin Port Company (DPC) to grant CLdN a license to use the port’s Terminal 5. The decision further expands CLdN’s capabilities in the port.     

Last week our partners Hyundai Mipo Dockyard held the steel cutting ceremony of our next new build vessel at their shipyard in Ulsan, South Korea. 

The ceremonial cutting of the first steel plate marks the start of construction of the vessel.

CLDN's operations in the UK are proud to announce they have been awarded ‘𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱’ membership and enhanced accreditation as part of 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟱% 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯, an award that recognizes CLDN's commitment to providing ‘earn and learn’ opportunities, such as apprenticeships and graduate traineeships.

Today, we proudly named one of the newest members of the CLdN fleet. M/V Faustine was christened at our terminal in Rotterdam at a ceremony attended by more than 250 customers, suppliers and other stakeholders. We also hosted a special event and vessel tour for our 400 CLdN Rotterdam colleagues. 
 

The Teesside service will initially consist of four round trip sailings per week, three from Zeebrugge and one from Rotterdam
and will start on 18 March 2023. This expansion is driven by customer demand to have direct and reliable access for freight
units to the North East of England, thereby bringing cargo closer to its final destination and avoiding road mileage and
unnecessary CO2 emissions.

The MV Delphine is a vessel with a cargo capacity of over 8,000 lane meters and transits between the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe. She is the largest and one of the most fuel-efficient short sea roll-on / roll-off (ro-ro) vessel operating in the world today with 28 grammes of CO2 emitted per tonne of cargo shipped per km travelled. With two 35mx5m rotor sails deployed, the ship will emit even less greenhouse gas going forward thanks to an emission reduction saving of up to 10%.

CLdN, the logistics specialist for sea, road and rail has announced a further increase of capacity for customers on its North Sea routes to and from eastern England.

CLdN have a developing apprenticeship and graduate training programme, supporting the UK at our Killingholme and Purfleet Ports. We are proud to be supporting our apprentices and graduates, by showcasing and promoting the great work they do throughout National Apprenticeship Week 2023
