P&O boosts Tilbury/Rotterdam capacity

[ February 6, 2025   //   Chris Lewis ]

P&O Ferries is to increase capacity on its Tilbury – Rotterdam (Europoort) route from 2 March.

Launched in 2024, it will continue to offer 12 sailings per week with daily departures from both Tilbury and Europoort. The larger Norsky and Norstream will now operate the route, increasing capacity by up to 60%. These two vessels will also continue to serve the Tilbury – Zeebrugge route on a butterfly schedule. The previous Tilbury-Europoort vessel, the Norban ,will enter the Zeebrugge – Teesport service.

P&O Ferries chief executive, Peter Hebblethwaite, said: “The schedule provides early morning unloading for London, giving customers more options to make the best use of their fleet and their drivers’ time – along with more opportunities for intermodal transport.”
