DASCHER has announced it is utilising its customs expertise and its European groupage network to introduce the new ‘Smart Landbridge Connect’ service.
As direct ferry connections between Irish ports and mainland Europe offer limited capacity, with restricted departures and frequent weather-related disruptions, access to continental European markets has become much more difficult for Irish exporters. This is where DACHSER’s new transport service aims to help.
The new Smart Landbridge Connect service transports goods from Ireland to mainland Europe via the UK. It offers up to 40 weekly departures to destinations in 35 countries, providing greater flexibility, shorter transit times, and more frequent departures.
“By restoring a fast and efficient UK Landbridge option, DACHSER is creating a competitive advantage for Irish exporters,” said John Van Den Berg, Managing Director of DACHSER Ireland.
“By utilising a simple T2 transit procedure, Irish trade can move seamlessly through the UK for onward connection through the Channel Tunnel, allowing Irish trade to reach European destinations more quickly and efficiently.”
