New Shipping Service Announced from Wilmington to Europe

According to the NC Port Authority : " Independent Container Line, Ltd. (ICL) has announced that the shipping company will begin weekly service between the Port of Wilmington, NC and North Europe and the United Kingdom. ICL has served the North Atlantic trade for 24 years, and will begin calling Wilmington on Thursday, March 26, 2009 and each Thursday thereafter.

“This new weekly service to the Port of Wilmington will enhance the economy of the region and of North Carolina. Exporters and importers know the value of using our services in North Carolina,” said Gov. Bev Perdue."

From the NCDA's point of veiw, this is great news. Unfortunately, the line will not offer refrigerated container service. Perhaps we can get that in the future!
