“Barendrecht, Netherlands-based Nirint Shipping B.V. has removed Halifax from the northbound leg of its Europe–Cuba–Canada multipurpose service, consolidating the route to a purely Europe–Cuba loop. The revised rotation now runs Villagarcia–Bilbao–Rotterdam–Mariel–Moa–Villagarcia, according to DynaLiners. The approximately fortnightly service is operated by vessels of 12,000–17,000 deadweight tonnes with capacities of 680–900 teu. The removal of Halifax ends the service's Canadian component entirely, reducing port calls from what had been a transatlantic triangulation to a six-port Europe–Cuba circuit. Nirint's Cuba service is one of a small number of direct European liner links to the island, connecting the Spanish ports of Villagarcia and Bilbao alongside Rotterdam to the Cuban ports of Mariel and Moa.”
