P&O Ferries to increase capacity on Tilbury – Europoort route by 60%

P&O Ferries has announced a boost to capacity on its London/Tilbury – Rotterdam/Europoort route, starting from 2nd March 2025.

Following a successful launch of the new route in 2024, a second vessel will be added to the route, which will continue to offer 12 sailings per week with daily departures from both Tilbury and Europoort. The ships Norsky and Norstream will cover the route, increasing capacity by up to 60 per cent.

Peter Hebblethwaite, CEO of P&O Ferries, said:

“We are delighted to be able to offer greater capacity to our freight customers on our successful service between Tilbury and Europoort. The schedule provides early morning unloading for London, giving customers more options to make the best use of their fleet and their drivers’ time – along with more opportunities for intermodal transport.

“Our freight team are ready to help customers optimise costs by securing deliveries to the UK, meeting all the requirements of port and customs processes and running smoothly during peak periods.”
