On the 22nd June 2020, CLdN’s ship, Laureline, made its maiden call at YILPORT Leixões, enabling twice a week call.
This new connection will allow access to new routes with origin and destination in Leixões via Zeebrugge (Belgium), namely Gothenburg (Sweden), Esbjerg (Denmark) and Cork (Ireland).
To mark the maiden call of the ship at the Port of Leixões, a plaque was given to the Master of the ship.
YILPORT Leixões General Manager Nuno David SILVA stated that, "YILPORT Leixões recent investments in state of the art equipment along with its known operational efficiency enabled our valuable partner CLDN to deploy one of their latest generation H5 class vessels to their bi-weekly Leixões Rotterdam service now also calling Zeebrugge where shippers can benefit from excellent through-shipment options to Esbjerg (Denmark), Gothenburg (Sweden) and Cork (Ireland)."
