Unifeeder, Denmark, has announced the acquisition of IMCL Holding, Poland, from the Lemissoler Shipping Group.

Unifeeder is an asset light logistics company which provides northern Europe with a feeder service connecting European hubs in Belgium, Germany, Holland and over 30 regional ports across the Nordic Region, Baltic States and Russia.

IMCL is the largest feeder operator in Poland and transports containers between the main ports in Germany and Holland and the Polish ports in Gdynia, Gdansk and Stettin as well as Riga in Latvia and Klaipeda in Lithuania.

The joint network will improve the offering for inter-European cargo.

“The possibility to provide additional port calls on routes to the Baltic region, Finland and Russia creates an improved service offering to everyone’s benefit,” CEO of Unifeeder, Jesper Kristensen, said.

The transaction is expected to complete by end 2009.
