VOLVO SHIP INTO NEW IMMINGHAM DOCK
Ferryways – owned by the Mediterranean Shipping Company - will see Volvo trucks imported into Britain to the Exxtor Terminal owned and operated by Associated British Ports (ABP) at the Port of Immingham, Lincolnshire Speaking about the deal Volvo Logistics’ Managing Director Kevin Smyth said: ''This new service will enhance both the precision and performance of the door to door distribution service we offer to Volvo Trucks.'' Ferryways will transport Volvo trucks built at their facility in Gent, Belgium, on nine weekly sailings from Ostend to Immingham where ABP will deliver them to Volvo Trucks’ UK distributor. The terminal will handle approximately 24,000 Volvo trucks and cars in the first year, with the figure set to grow over time. ''Delivery precision of new trucks to our customers is a critical KPI for Volvo, and we are constantly striving to improve efficiencies within the supply chain. This latest development will enhance that situation for Volvo customers in the UK and Ireland,'' says Volvo Trucks’ Truck Operations Manager Chris Carr.
