Seago Line to start new service between Gothenburg and Morocco
The shipping company Seago Line is about to establish a new service to Casablanca and Agadir in Morocco. Swedish forest products and engineering products are just two examples of the freight that will be transported using this new service, the company said in its press release.
Swedish exports to Morocco have more than doubled in the past ten years. In 2013, the export value was SEK 2.7 billion. During the first nine months of 2014, exports rose by 49 per cent compared with the same period the previous year.
Next week the shipping company Seago Line starts a new freight service between Gothenburg and Morocco.
"It is extremely encouraging that Seago Line has identified market potential in the trade between Sweden and Morocco and that it has chosen to invest in Gothenburg as a freight hub," said Claes Sundmark, Vice President Business Area Cargo, Roro and Rail, at the Port of Gothenburg.
The ships operating on this new service will call at APM Terminals, the Port of Gothenburg container terminal, each Friday. The rotation will be St Petersburg – Gdansk – Gothenburg – Bremerhaven – Antwerp – Casablanca – Agadir.
