WEC Lines enhances and renames ISS service

WEC Lines will enhance its ISS service and rename it ISS-PT from 10 September. The renewed weekly short-sea service will strengthen connections between southern Spain and Northwest Europe. It will use Setúbal, Portugal, as a transshipment hub for import and export cargo. WEC Lines said the enhanced service responds to demand for reliable short-sea transport. It also provides an alternative to long-distance road transportation.
