London Medway’s unaccompanied freight service between the United Kingdom and France sees trade numbers rising by two-third since its launch.
Specifically, the cross-channel route, which is run by DFDS, has experienced a 65% increase in daily unit volumes since the service began in July 2021.
Moreover, in recent weeks, the Sheerness to Calais service hit a new landmark, as it has now moved more than 50,000 trailers on vessels at the port since it was first launched.
In addition, London Medway, part of the Peel Ports Group, has revealed that last year it witnessed a 34% increase in units over one fortnight as Dover again faced operational issues.
Richard Goffin, port director at London Medway, commented, “We’re hugely proud of how well the DFDS service has performed since it was launched over 18 months ago.”
He added, “Reaching the 50,000 units milestone for the route feels like a real landmark moment for everyone involved in the service.”
