A door-to-door groupage service from Scotland to Germany, Austria,Switzerland, Greece and Yugoslavia starts on August 5. The service is the result of a partnership between Currie Line, of Glasgow, and SSM Transport, of Rotterdam.
Goods can be collected by Currie or delivered by the customer to Braehead Customs depot, Renfrew, and then containerized before being taken by road and sea to SS M Transport's depot at Venla on the Dutch-German border. From Venla there will be daily deliveries to most German cities, with Austria, Switzerland and Greece being serviced twice weekly.
Mr Alex Cook, of Currie Line, said that only Customs approved depots would be used, and that all traffic would be containerized on a door-to-door basis. Currie Line officials had inspected the interchange points, he said, and were satisfied that they were as secure against damage and pilfering as possible.
