BlueWave Ocean Logistics, a Netherlands-based ocean freight company, has launched a new service line between the major European ports of Rotterdam, Hamburg, and Marseille. This move aims to combat port congestion while improving efficiency for customers who rely on European trade routes for raw materials and manufactured goods.
BlueWave’s new service will operate weekly, with vessels specifically designed for short sea shipping that can accommodate smaller loads, enabling faster turnarounds at ports. Company officials say the addition of these routes helps alleviate some of the pressures European ports are facing from increased import and export demands. By expanding its short-sea shipping capabilities, BlueWave intends to better serve small to mid-size businesses reliant on European supply chains.
The decision has already received positive responses from manufacturers in Germany and France, who depend on reliable transit times and minimal port delays. This initiative positions BlueWave as a leader in adapting to evolving logistical demands in the region and highlights the increasing focus on efficiency in Europe’s maritime sector.
