According to the shipping line, the improved multi-trade feeder link can reduce transit times by up to seven days from Asian ports and up to 12 days from IPAK origins. The service is expected to provide faster and more efficient access to the north-west of England and Scottish markets.

The feeder arrives at Felixstowe on Tuesdays, ensuring seamless onward connections with MSC’s Albatross and Britannia services, and minimal dwell times. From there, the vessel berths in Liverpool on Friday and departs on Saturday, allowing Monday deliveries to proceed without delay.
In addition to quicker turnaround times, MSC highlights that its inland coverage across the UK is supported by dedicated trucking and rail services, enabling door-to-door solutions for customers.
The feeder now also includes Felixstowe in its European rotation, calling at: Le Havre – Antwerp – Felixstowe – Liverpool – Greenock – Le Havre – Sines – Vigo – Gijón – Bilbao – Le Havre.
MSC says the changes form part of its broader commitment to making shipping “faster, easier, and more reliable” for UK customers.
