Tailwind's Dolphin Express expands its horizons! 🐬 This October, our TAILWIND Shipping Lines is expanding its Dolphin Express Service (DEX) with new port stops in Antwerp, Setúbal, Cádiz, and Casablanca. This short-sea service will continue connecting Moerdijk and Barcelona, now reaching even more key hubs across Europe and North Africa. What’s new? 🚢 👉 Expanded route with new stops in Belgium, Portugal, Spain, and Morocco. 👉 The 21-day circulation takes place weekly connecting major trade hubs. 👉 Enhanced fleet with three Tailwind ships, Panda 004, Panda 005, and Panda 003. Why it matters? 📦 ✅ Thanks to the higher cargo capacity of modern ships, sea transport scores with lower CO2 emissions per transported container compared to transportation with conventional diesel trucks. ✅ Ports align with the Lidl logistics centers, streamlining distribution. ✅ Fast connection from Morocco to China via Casablanca. "By using sea transport, we are making our goods distribution to Portugal and Spain even more efficient and more sustainable," says Matthias Oppitz, Chief Operating Officer at Lidl International. What’s your take on the future of sustainable transport? 👇 #LidlInternational #DropOfTheWeek #Tailwind #teamlidl

“Technology will matter, but people will matter more.” At the International Shipowning & Shipmanagement Summit during London International Shipping Week 2025, our CEO Bjørn Højgaard spoke on the evolving nature of leadership in maritime, emphasising that the future of shipping will be shaped not just by technology, but by talent. In a sector influenced by changes and paradoxes, Bjorn called for a mindset shift: balancing urgency with patience, confidence with humility, and innovation with care. He reminded us that “culture is our true safety net,” and that shipping remains, at its core, a people-driven industry. From empowering seafarers with data-informed decision-making to fostering a culture of care over blame, his keynote underscored the importance of enabling our people to act with confidence - both at sea and ashore. Thank you to the organisers of ISSS and LISW for hosting this crucial dialogue. To our industry peers, let’s continue to lead with integrity, invest in our people, and shape the future of shipping.
