Port Collection and Container Delivery

Container haulage booked as part of your clearance

Your container cannot leave the port until customs has released it, and the terminal will not release it until the haulier has the correct paperwork. Booking the haulage with the same team that clears your goods removes that handover entirely. We request the release, collect the container, deliver it to your premises and return it empty.

Get Started

Colorful stacked shipping containers at a port exemplify global logistics.

What is included

Collection of import containers from UK ports, including the port handover and terminal paperwork.
Delivery to your warehouse, distribution centre or own premises.
Full container load movements for 20ft and 40ft units.
Empty container returns to the shipping line or a nominated depot.
Booking coordination and delivery confirmation, with one contact point for the whole movement.

What we need from you

Container number and bill of lading reference.
Shipping line or carrier, so we request the release from the correct party.
Port of arrival and the delivery address, with any access restrictions.
Confirmation of the load weight if the container is out of gauge or requires a tail lift.

Port charges, waiting time and demurrage are passed through transparently and itemised separately. Where a terminal applies a free waiting period, we plan the collection to work within it.
