Expansion of Dolphin Express Service
Lidl’s shipping company, Tailwind Shipping Lines, extended its Dolphin Express Service in mid-October 2025. On the route from Moerdijk to Barcelona, it now also calls at Antwerp, Setúbal (Portugal), Cádiz (Spain) and Casablanca (Morocco).
The Dolphin Express Service transports containers and departs weekly from Antwerp. The handling is carried out at ACOT Antwerp Container Terminal (Sea-Invest). Three 1,380 TEU vessels are used for this service, carrying both Lidl’s own cargo and goods from third parties. WEC Lines has also signed up for slots on this shortsea service.
