Sustainably Connecting the UK to Europe
Our market-leading sustainable transport solutions connect the UK with Samskip’s reliable network on the continent and Morocco through a range of services that integrate sea, barge, rail and road. With direct services to Portugal, Spain, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Poland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Baltics and Morocco, we offer door-to-door services supported by our own assets and border services that seamlessly secure your supply chains.
Important Update: UK & Ireland Network
Following the sale of Samskip’s UK and Ireland trades, we no longer operate dedicated services for this region. Nevertheless, the UK remains a fully integrated part of our European network, and we continue to offer transport solutions to and from the UK via our trades in Spain, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland, the Baltics, Iceland, Portugal and Morocco, ensuring continued service continuity for our customers.
