A new charter line between Europe and the UK
JuiSea Shipping transports thousands of liters of NFC orange juice and orange juice concentrate between the port in Ghent, Belgium and Portland, UK. This new mode of transport reduces the need for hundreds of trucks to drive between the European mainland and the UK on a daily basis.
What is JuiSea Shipping?
JuiSea Shipping is a collaboration between global beverage solutions provider Refresco and Trilobes, a company that provides solutions for liquids. JuiSea Shipping operates a dedicated vessel to transport juice and containers between Europe and the UK. By teaming up, we have:
About the vessel
The vessel is registered under the name MV Marilie and is sailing under Finnish flag. It has a dedicated crew trained in loading and unloading orange juice under aseptic circumstances.
Floating terminal
The vessel has been transformed into a floating terminal with tanks to transport the juice. It has all the equipment on board that is needed to run it as a terminal. It even has its own nitrogen on board and a complete CIP installation.
The vessel will sail between Ghent in Belgium and Portland UK. Once in Portland, the orange juice will be offloaded and brought to Refresco's Bridgwater location in the UK to be packaged for the UK market.
