Antwerp – Cleveland v.v. Spliethoff started the route known as the ‘Cleveland-Europe Express’ (CEE) between Antwerp and Cleveland in 2014 based on one sailing per month. Due to the positive response and increased market demand Spliethoff decided to increase to two sailings per month with a fourteen days transit time with immediate effect. Port of Cleveland The Port of Cleveland invested with success in cranes to speed up the loading and discharging operation of the containers. The cross-dock, storage and distribution solutions are now in place which allows for heavier containers to be shipped to Cleveland. This is a major benefit to US Midwestern destinations. Besides containers also break-bulk cargoes, project cargoes including heavy lifts and yachts are being carried on this service. Valleyfield Also new for this year schedule is an en-route port call at Valleyfield offering a good connection with the Canadian hinterland and US East Coast destinations. Efficient connections Through Bills of Lading are offered from door to door using Spliethoff’s rapid European logistics network between Antwerp and Russia, Finland, Estonia, Poland, UK and Spain. In the US it is Spliethoff Cleveland that takes care of the onward connections to and from Cleveland and Midwestern America. Spliethoff will operate a year round service. With the fixed schedule, fast transit times, onward connections and cross docking options in the ports, Spliethoff’s container, break-bulk and project customers are very much welcoming the doubling in capacity.
