UPM strengthens shipping partnership and port expansion

UPM Communication Papers is expanding its logistics presence in the US through a renewed shipping partnership and new port operations. Starting next year, the company will continue its long-term freight agreement with Dutch shipping company Spliethoff, maintaining regular shipments from Europe to Jacksonville, Florida. A new port contract with Enstructure, effective this autumn, will additionally enable deliveries to Wilmington, Delaware. On January 1, 2026, UPM will renew its long-standing collaboration with Spliethoff, one of Europe’s largest and most experienced shipping companies.

For over 25 years, Spliethoff has reliably transported a broad range of UPM business area offerings – including products from UPM Communication Papers, Specialty Papers, Plywood, and Fibres – from Europe to global markets. As in previous years, the majority of shipments to the U.S. are represented by UPM Communication Papers and UPM Specialty Papers. Complementing this freight agreement, UPM has signed a new port operations contract with Enstructure, a valued partner at the Talleyrand Marine Terminal in Jacksonville, Florida, and will now extend its services to Port Wilmington, Delaware.
