P&O Ferries launches new London – Rotterdam freight route from March

P&O Ferries has announced the opening of a new RoRo freight route in the North Sea, between London (Tilbury 2) and Rotterdam (Europoort), starting in March 2024. This service will complement P&O Ferries’ existing Zeebrugge to London route together with strengthening its rail-connected hub in Rotterdam.

Peter Hebblethwaite, P&O Ferries’ CEO, said:

“The opening of our new route between London and Rotterdam gives P&O Ferries a unique network in the North Sea. We now have five hubs: Hull, Teesport, Tilbury, Zeebrugge and Europoort, connecting the North East and South East of England with the Continent. ”

P&O Ferries will offer the earliest arrival on the Thames from Rotterdam, along with swift access to the M25 and terminal rail connections.

The route will be served by the existing P&O Ferries vessel Norbank, which was until recently serving on the Irish Sea, with a capacity of 125 freight units. She will sail on a daily schedule with customer-focused sailing times including an early arrival in London, enabling on-time local delivery.

P&O Ferries operates services in the North Sea from three east coast UK ports – Hull, London and Teesport – and two ports in northern Europe at Zeebrugge and Rotterdam.

The new schedule for P&O Ferries’ London (Tilbury) – Rotterdam (Europoort) route will be as follows:
