Since our foundation in 1894, we have been supporting the shipping industry.
We are very used to dealing with shipping companies and agents. We understand the importance of time keeping, but also that schedules regularly change. Here’s how we can provide solutions to the shipping industry:
From our bases in Southampton and Pembroke dock, we provide extensive haulage services to the shipping industry. Our fleet of vehicles are equipped with ISO twist loads for loading ISO containers and flatracks.
We operate semi low-loaders for moving heavy and abnormal cargo to ships. We are very used to working with ship’s agents and understand the need to meet tight collection windows in order not to delay ongoing voyages.
