This week, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed by the City of Rotterdam and the City of Oslo. The two partners have a long history, having worked together for many years. The new corridor project will not only strengthen their relationship but will also accelerate “the green transition” to the maritime sector. Having a strong presence in both regions and being a pioneer in greener logistics, Samskip will facilitate the corridor service with what will be the debut of their anticipated Next Generation Zero-Emissions SeaShuttle.
Both cities have invested in decarbonization initiatives and have been committed to the advancement of the maritime industry. Samskip has major terminals in both cities which greatly strengthen their multimodal network; the largest in Europe.
Samskip’s next generation zero-emission SeaShuttles will be utilized to service the new green corridor. These vessels will be among the first zero-emission short sea container vessels in the world using green hydrogen as fuel. The service includes weekly loops between Rotterdam and ports in the Oslofjord region establishing true end-to-end corridor service.
Samskip Director, Business Development Magnús Salberg Óskarsson: “We are so proud to be a part of such a project. This is a perfect example of different companies and entities pulling together to accelerate greener logistics and aid us in achieving our ambitious decarbonization targets for the upcoming years. Our partners have very similar objectives and goals as we do, and we are happy to work with hands-on partners that help us make a real difference!
