Hamburg Sud & CCNI Launch New Europe/West Coast Central & North America Service at TCS

Tilbury Container Services is pleased to announce that as from early February, the terminal will be handling a new service jointly operated by Hamburg Sud and CCNI.  The WAMS service will be making weekly calls at TCS, providing direct links between the UK, the Caribbean, West Coast Central America and the West Coast of North America, sailing as far north as Vancouver.

This is a very positive development for TCS, representing a brand new, direct trade lane for the terminal and on a route which has traditionally been served via transshipment or mini landbridge via the US Gulf ports only. 

TCS wishes to remind all customers and stakeholders, that the terminal is fully compliant with United States C-TPAT requirements, in addition to other security-related management systems.
