WEC Lines has introduced a new crossdocking solution at the C. Steinweg (Süd-West) Terminal in Hamburg, expanding cargo connectivity between Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the Canary Islands. The new facility is directly linked to WEC Lines’ North West Continent–Canary Islands (NWC CAI) service, providing an integrated transport solution for cargo moving between Hamburg and key European markets. According to the company, the crossdocking service enables the direct transfer of cargo between containers and conventional trucks, reducing handling times and improving cargo flow within the terminal. The solution is expected to shorten lead times, increase transport flexibility and provide a cost-efficient alternative to traditional round-trip movements. The service is suitable for both palletised and non-palletised cargo and supports sideloading and unloading operations, eliminating the need for ramp facilities and offering greater flexibility for a wide range of cargo types. By combining its shortsea shipping network with inland transport options, WEC Lines aims to strengthen cargo flows across Germany and neighbouring cross-border regions while improving access to markets in the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the Canary Islands. The company added that the new crossdocking solution also supports more sustainable supply chains through optimised transport flows and reduced CO₂ emissions.
