Frequently asked questions

How long does a full truck load take between Malaga and London?

Between 3 and 5 working days door-to-door. Typical routings use Plymouth-Santander or Portsmouth-Bilbao on Brittany Ferries, or Dover-Calais overland.

Can you move avocado and mango reefer loads to UK supermarkets?

Yes. We operate multi-temperature trailers (−25 °C to +25 °C) with telematic temperature monitoring, suitable for avocado, mango, tropical fruit and salad loads.

Do you provide post-Brexit customs clearance?

Yes. We handle EORI, T1 transit, SAD, CDS in the UK and EUR.1 origin certificates, working with licensed customs brokers in both countries.

Which port is most cost-effective for Malaga to UK sea freight?

Algeciras for North Africa and Mediterranean short-sea; for the UK, door-to-door road plus Channel or Biscay ferry is usually faster and more predictable than containerised sea freight for pallet-level volumes.
