JAPAN's Singapore-headquartered Ocean Network Express (ONE) has announced a significant upgrade to its BBX (Baltic Bridge Express) service, aiming to provide expanded port coverage.

In particular, the port rotation of the BBX service will be Rotterdam (Netherlands), Klaipeda (Lithuania), Riga (Latvia), Tallinn (Estonia), Kotka (Finland) and returning Rotterdam (Netherlands), reports Greece's Container News.

Furthermore, the upgraded service will begin with the vessel Essence, which is expected to arrive in Rotterdam on January 24, 2025.

The current BBX service, covering Rotterdam (Netherlands), Klaipeda (Lithuania, Riga (Latvia) and returning Rotterdam (Netherlands), will be discontinued following the discharge of Eco Ponente at Rotterdam on February 7, 2025.

Additionally, the enhanced BBX will partially replace the existing BAX service, which currently serves Hamburg (Germany), Helsinki (Finland), Tallinn (Estonia), Rauma (Finland) and returning Hamburg (Germany).

This BAX service will end after the discharge of Emotion at Hamburg port on February 4, 2025.
