The world’s largest Short Sea ro-ro vessel made its first call at the Port of Rotterdam yesterday (Wednesday).

The shipping line, Compagnie Luxembourgeoise d’Navigation (CLdN), will be deploying the brand new vessel, MV Celine, in a weekly rotation along its Rotterdam – Bruges-Zeebrugge – Dublin – Bruges-Zeebrugge – Rotterdam – London – Rotterdam route.

CLdN announced the expansion of its fleet in 2015 and the MV Celine is the first ship in its investment project to be taken into service.
