Transfennica Cancels Ro-Ro Route
European shipping company Transfennica has decided to cease its “Motorways of the Sea” Ro-Ro service between Bilbao, Portsmouth and Zeebrugge by the end of December 2014. The decision stems from the upcoming SECA legislation to enter into force on 1 January 2015, which will result in increasing fuel costs. The company said it expects that up to 50% of the trailer volumes will return to the road. The Board of Directors of Spliethoff Group therefore decided there is no profitable future for a Ro-Ro service on this route, started in September 2007, Transfennica explained.
