Santander already has a new connection to Cork Harbour It is a CLdN service that connects Santander with Cork and Dublin, through Zeebrugge. Santander, 22 May 2020.- The Luxembourg company CLdN already has a weekly road traffic connection between Santander and the Irish port of Cork via a weekly line, via Zeebrugge (Belgium). This connection follows the new service launched by CLdN Ro-Ro between cork port and Zeebrugge port as part of its expansion into freight transport services between Belgium and Ireland. The Ro-Ro service of trailers, semi-trailers, containers, static merchandise on mafi and project loads will leave Santander every Friday to reach Cork on Tuesdays and return on Thursdays to reach Santander on Tuesdays. With this new connection, the port of Santander adds cork to the destinations offered by CLdN through the Belgian port and which are Dublin (Ireland), Killingholme and London (Britain), Esbjerg (Denmark) and Gothenburg (Sweden). CLdN has three weekly stopovers (Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays) 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.
