Antwerpen, Zeebrugge – Helsinki, Kotka

The MV Finneco 3 was finally able to depart from Antwerp last night, with a delay of almost 48 hours compared to the original schedule.

As previously advised, the delay was caused by adverse weather conditions and the suspension of pilotage services.

To minimise the impact on the schedule, and also considering the persisting of bad weather conditions, the following adjustments have been made:

• Gdynia call: Cancelled. All import cargo for Gdynia will remain onboard and will be delivered on Friday, the 31st.
• Helsinki: ETA Tuesday 28th at 14:00 (subject to weather conditions)
• Kotka: ETA Wednesday 29th at 06:00

Thereafter, the vessel will resume the regular schedule.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused and remain at your disposal for any questions.

Please be advised that the MV Finneco 3 is still in the Port of Antwerp due to adverse weather conditions and the suspension of pilotage services.

The vessel was scheduled to depart Antwerp early on Friday, 24th, and has since been waiting for sailing clearance. Unfortunately, we have not yet received any departure prospects from the Coordination Centre.

As a result, we are currently unable to provide a reliable forward schedule; however, it is clear that arrival in both Gdynia and Helsinki will be delayed.

We will issue an updated schedule as soon as we receive confirmed departure information.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Due to continuation of pilot strike in Belgium, the Mv Finneco 2 will also omit the calls to Antwerp on her southbound voyage.
At the same time, the vessel will call at Zeebrugge on Monday morning to discharge the Belgian import volumes.

The updated service schedule is intended to be arranged as follows:

Please arrange the collection of the Belgian cargo from Zeebrugge.
