WEC expands Liverpool calls

[ February 28, 2023   //   ]

Dutch shortsea operator WEC Lines has expanded its service into the Port of Liverpool with new weekly calls from Northern Spain, Portugal, North Africa and the Canary Islands.

The services are in addition to the existing Portuguese and Spanish routes which have called at the port since 2019.

The new direct weekly services are from Bilbao, Vigo and Gijon in Spain, Casablanca in Morocco, Setubal and Leixoes in Portugal and Santa Cruz and Las Palmas in the Canaries.

WEC Lines managing director Roger Megann (pictured, left) said: “This is a significant upgrade and expansion of our service, offering our customers weekly reliability and new direct connections to and from Portugal, Spain, Canaries and North Africa to Liverpool.

Chief operating officer at Peel Ports David Huck (right), said: “This multi-continental weekly service is a further vote of confidence in the port and the trans-shipment opportunities of these routes further expand Liverpool’s global network and reach.”
