Samskip move to Hull

I spotted Helgafell at Hull on MarineTraffic a few days ago and this morning Samskip Hoffell - I thought maybe due to the gate work at Immingham, but a quick Google search brought back this

Seems like Hull container terminal is really on the up at the moment.

Rather appropriate, as it was Samskip who bought out the Geest North Sea Line which ran the same route for any years.

We've had Samskip running the old Geest service for quite some time, this is the Icelandic fish trade moving to Hull.

And now starting another route next week from Antwerp - guess this might kill off the other rival service from Ghent though, which appears to have dropped to a one vessel service using Marus.
