MS Finneco 3 – Antwerp Port Call Cancelled Due to Pilot Service Disruption
The ongoing action by the Belgian pilot service is forcing us to cancel the Antwerp port call from the Finneco-3 schedule.
According to the latest information received, there are currently 43 vessels waiting outside Antwerp, of which 27 have no clear prospect of berthing.
To avoid the Finneco-3 ending up waiting outside Antwerp without reliable schedule information, and to ensure timely cargo delivery, the decision has been made to discharge the Antwerp cargo in Zeebrugge.
The Finneco-3 will arrive in Zeebrugge on Monday the 29th at 10:00 hrs.
All oRo cargo originally planned for discharge in Antwerp will instead be discharged in Zeebrugge and will be available for pick-up from 14:00 onwards.
Import containers for Antwerp will be discharged in the evening and will be available for pick up from Tuesday morning.
Upon completion of discharge operations, the vessel will proceed to Sheerness and subsequently return to Zeebrugge as per the existing schedule.
Zeebrugge import volumes are therefore planned to be discharged on Wednesday, 1 July, as previously communicated.
Updated schedule for MV Finneco-3:
- Antwerp: Cancelled
- Zeebrugge: 29/06 – 06:00–18:00
- Sheerness: 30/06 – 06:00–14:00
- Zeebrugge: 01/07 – 06:00 to 02/07 02:00
- Bilbao: 04/07 – 08:00–20:00
MS Finneco 1 – Schedule delay due to Antwerp Pilot Service Disruption
The Belgian pilots’ action is ongoing and continues to affect port service reliability and schedule maintenance.
As a result, MV Finneco 1 is expected to run 24 hours behind the original schedule.
At present, we can provide the following updated itinerary:
- Antwerp: 27/06 from 06:00 to 14:00
- Hanko: 30/06 from 14:00 to 20:00
- Helsinki: 01/07 from 06:45 to 22:30
- Kotka: eta 02/07 at 06:00
MS Finneco 2 – Antwerp Port Call Cancelled Due to Pilot Service Disruption
Due to the ongoing disruption of pilot services in Belgium, we are forced to revise the rotation of Mv Finneco 2 and cancel the Antwerp port call in order to minimise delays to cargo delivery.
According to the latest information received, there are currently 26 vessels waiting outside Antwerp with no clear prospect of berthing.
If we were to maintain the original rotation, the vessel would need to anchor at Antwerp roads and potentially wait 24–48 hours before accessing the port.
By contrast, operations in the port of Zeebrugge appear to be running more smoothly, with only one vessel currently awaiting handling.
For this reason, we have instructed Mv Finneco 2 to proceed to Zeebrugge instead of Antwerp.
The vessel’s arrival in Zeebrugge is expected on Wednesday, 24 June at 06:00, with cargo operations scheduled to commence upon arrival.
All RoRo cargo originally destined for Antwerp will be discharged in Zeebrugge and made available for pick-up from 12:00 hrs onwards (container will be discharged on Friday).
Upon completion of discharge operations, the vessel will proceed to Sheerness and subsequently return to Zeebrugge. Zeebrugge import volumes are therefore planned to be discharged on Friday, 26 June, as previously communicated.
Updated schedule for Mv Finneco 2:
- Antwerp: Cancelled
- Zeebrugge: 24/06 06:00 – 14:00
- Sheerness: 25/06 00:00 – 14:00
- Zeebrugge: 26/06 00:00 – 27/06 08:00
- Bilbao: 29/06 20:00 – 30/06 14:00
MS Finneco 2 – schedule update
Mv Finneco 2 is further delayed due to heavier congestion at Zeebrugge than initially reported.
Therefore, the updated ETA in Hanko is now planned for Wednesday, 17 June at 15:00hrs.
Based on this, the rest of the schedule is initially expected as follows:
- Hanko: 17/06 from 15:00 to 23:00
- Kotka: 18/06 from 06:00 to 19/22:00
- Helsinki: 20/06 from 06:45 to to 18:00
- Gdynia: CANCELLED
- Antwerp: 24/06 from 14:00 to 21:00
- Sheerness: 25/06 from 09:00 to 18:00
- Zeebrugge: 26/06 from 06:00 to 27/06 at 02:00
- Bilbao: 29/06 from 08:00 to 20:00
Please note that due to the Midsummer celebrations, further changes may still occur.
