Euro Container Line (ECL) was established in the autumn of 1999 via a 50/50 joint venture with the Icelandic shipping company group Eimskip. In September 2008 Wilson acquired Eimskip’s share of the company and the company is now wholly-owned by Wilson ASA.
ECL provides marine transportation services for containers and operates a container line between Hamburg / Bremerhaven / Rotterdam and ports in West-/Mid Norway.
The company’s customers are the larger overseas container operators that use ECL’s services on shorter routes between Norway and the Continent as an independent feeder operator. Fish in reefers and industry cargo is transported southbound, while northbound is primarily industry cargo and miscellaneous dry containers.
