The port of Santander presents a direct CLdN service with Liverpool and Dublin Santander, 19 June 2020.- The Luxembourg company CLdN connects Santander with Liverpool and Dublin today via a weekly direct line. This connection means that the port of Santander will offer its customers direct service of trailers and, for the first time, containers to England and Ireland. The advisor of Innovation, Industry, Transport and Commerce, Francisco Martín and the president of the APS, Jaime González, gave a commemorative plaque to the representative of CLdN in Cantabria, Pablo Pellón. The Ro-Ro service of trailers, semi-trailers, containers, static mafi merchandise and project loads will depart Santander every Friday at 8 p.m. to arrive in Liverpool on Sundays at 18:00 and Dublin on Mondays at 10:00 a.m. The return journey will depart Dublin on Tuesdays at 6 p.m., stop in Liverpool on Wednesdays at 16:00 and arrive in Santander every Friday at 2 p.m. The Victorine vessel, which is 180 metres long, can accommodate 170 semi-trailers. In this way CLdN, which has increased its activity by 500% since it started operating in Santander at the end of 2016, adds Liverpool and Cork to the services it already offers from Santander to Dublin (Ireland), Killingholme and London (Britain), Esbjerg (Denmark) and Gothenburg (Sweden). CLdN will have, with this new service, four weekly stopovers in the Port of Santander. *CLdN in Santander. CLdN Group operations began in the Port of Santander at the end of 2016 on the North Bank by including two weekly stopovers with the existing Portuguese line between Rotterdam and Leixoes. That is, CLdN decided to add to the Port of Santander as a new stopover of its Iberian service con-ro -Portugal (Leixoes), Holland (Rotterdam), Benelux - and added a new vessel to this service. Thus, the Port of Santander entered the rotation, offering 2 direct stopovers per week to Rotterdam, Holland. CLdN decided on Santander as it is a leading RoRo traffic port on the Atlantic facade, with direct connection, via toll-free motorways, and regular rail services to central Spain. Since then, the volume has increased and the CLdN Group made the decision to allocate specific ro-ro vessels three times a week exclusively for the realization of port operations between Spain and Zeebrugge. This change in routes was important advantages for Santander as the connection time with northern Europe was reduced and the capacity of the santander boat that can now occupy it in its entirety was increased when it had to be shared with Leixoes before. Santander also benefited from increased connections to the British and Nordic markets by doing so via Zeebrugge. *CLdN ro-ro SA.
