As Liner Agent to SeaLegend, on Monday night we welcome the inaugural arrival of the vessel Istanbul Bridge into Port of Felixstowe on the Artic Express route.
Yes the first container ship to make the North East Passage from China to the UK.
Not only is this the stuff that dreams are made of but it has been attempted time and again throughout the centuries in pursuit of the economic success that a seaway joining China to the UK could achieve.
On Monday night. This became not a possibility but finally a reality.
Our thanks and congratulations go to SeaLegend for putting their faith in us. To the incredible team at Port of Felixstowe and Hutchison Ports.
Last but not least least our wonderful special Kestrel family, led in the UK by our MD Bryn Kerr who worked tirelessly to make this perfect. And it was!
