X-Press, a short-sea ship-owner which calls regularly Leixões, announced its SPX service will also call the port of Algeciras, which will constitute another cobbection of Leixões to one of the Iberian hubs.
The call at Algeciras will take place at the Isla Verde Exterior Terminal, which began being operated a few weeks ago by the Total Terminal Internacional Algeciras (Hanjin Shipping Holdings group).
This terminal has as it first client the Far East-Europe service from CHKY Alliance, which includes Cosco, Hanjin, K Line and Yang Ming.
The SPX service from X-Press Line is assured by both "Maike D" and "Jessica B” ships, with capacity of 660 TEU, and connects weekly Leixões with the ports of Barcelona, Tarragona, Valencia, Algeciras and Tanger Med.
