The new service deployment will begin February 19, 2015 when the vessel, MV Selfoss, will join MV Reykjfoss and MV Skogafoss on
its “Green Line” route. Originating in Reykjavik, Iceland the vessel
will then travel to Argentia, Newfoundland and Labrador. The next stop
will be Halifax before going on to Portland, Maine. This service will
also have direct connection with European destinations, including
Reykjavik, Iceland, Immingham, United Kingdom and Rotterdam, the
Netherlands.
“As a result of this service enhancement, the number of Eimskip calls
in Halifax will increase from 13 to 31 calls per year giving our
customers additional options for cargo destined and originating in
Europe,” said Jeff Simms, Managing Director, Eimskip Canada Inc. “This
is good news for our intra-‐North American customers as well and will
provide one more channel for Nova Scotia exporters to move goods into
the New England states, acting as a feeder service for the 14 other
carriers calling Halifax.” To support the expanded service, Eimskip is
planning to open a local office in Halifax.
The inbound rotation for this service will originate in Rotterdam, the
Netherlands and include Immingham, United Kingdom; Reykjavik, Iceland;
Argentia, Newfoundland and Labrador; Halifax, Nova Scotia and Portland,
Maine. The outbound call will start in Portland, Maine and will include
Argentia and St. Anthony, Newfoundland and Labrador, Reykjavik,
Immingham, and Rotterdam.
