Ports
Our trailers travel to the United Kingdom with the ships of Stenaline. Depending on the destination of the goods, we send the trailers to either Harwich or Killingholme. We can send goods to both of these ports on a daily basis. This means that we can quickly adapt and react to new transports.
Desitn8 – Port Community System
Destin8 is the UK version of Portbase. It is a software system in which carriers, shipping companies and customs are connected to each other. This system helps to have the transport between Europe and the United Kingdom run smoothly. Of course, we have our own account within Destin8 to register and monitor all shipments. This way, we make sure that the goods of our customers can enter the United Kingdom without any problems.
Zip codes United Kingdom
Even shipments starting at 1 pallet can be delivered throughout the United Kingdom. We will have these pallets preloaded by a partner in England. We then ship the load(s) with our own trailer and deliver them to the Netherlands (and Belgium or Germany). The costs for these transportations depend on the zip code of the area where the pallet must be loaded. An overview of all zip codes in the UK can be downloaded below. Always good to have a map like that at hand!
