Part load transport

Even though demand for part load transport is high, it can be surprisingly difficult to find a company willing to carry out part load transport at a reasonable rate. Our part load transport service is perfect for people who want their items to be treated with care and professionally transported but don’t have enough to fill a standard truck or container.

DFDS’s transport portfolio includes both ambient and temperature-controlled units. With our multimodal capabilities, industry-specific expertise and valuable experience across road, rail, and sea, we offer a flexible, pan-European part loading transport and logistics service. Whether you have a less than a trailer load (LTL) or a less than a container load (LCL), our set-up and expertise will ensure that your part load will arrive in perfect condition, every time.

Transporting your goods can sometimes be complicated, given the fact that constant fluctuations can occur. If the quantity of the goods you need to transport fills a truck partially, then you have a groupage transport, also known as LTL shipment. If you are transporting smaller volumes, you can benefit from cheaper rates and flexibility to send whatever cargo you need to various locations across the UK & EU. With DFDS, you can use a part of the truck to move your cargo and we’ll make sure that your items are consolidated with other goods from different customers. We also offer B2B loads if you want to ship smaller items such as one palette or lighter than 2000kg.

With DFDS you have the best transport partner specialized in LCL shipments. If your goods need to be shipped via sea freight and then loaded into a shared container, we have just what you need. At DFDS, we keep our promises and deadlines when it comes to delivering your items. Our unique network of 24 ferry routes on a fixed schedule, 55 ferries, 8 port terminals, 9,000 trailer and container units, and 8,000+ local ferry and logistics experts across Europe and Türkiye will secure on-time delivery, every time.
