Logistics UK has unveiled a new partnership with ferry expert Freightlink which sees the launch of the Logistics UK Freight Ferry Service.
The new service is powered by freight ferry ticket agent Freightlink, which covers more than 1,000 ferry routes, connecting hauliers to more than 50 countries across the continent.
The Logistics UK Freight Ferry service will offer discounts on all journeys to and from Great Britain, including travel to Northern and the Republic of Ireland and cross-Channel routes.
The association said this week that the service will offer the “best possible value” for members’ freight movements with discounts offered in addition to what it describes as its “competitive pricing.”
Al Richardson, Logistics UK head of membership, said the partnership will provide genuine benefits for member businesses. “Our new service will take advantage of Freightlink’s expertise to provide members with a seamless experience every time they book a journey. The combined reputation of both organisations means we are able to offer genuine reductions and first-class customer support, seven days a week,” he explained.

With so much volatility in the economy, the new service – which links the extensive knowledge of the team at Freightlink with the size and scale of Logistics UK – will ensure that our members have access to capacity across the entire European ferry network and can keep costs under control while continuing to deliver for customers,” he added.
Freightlink managing director, Alex McDonald said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Logistics UK to provide this new solution to their membership. Users of this service will experience unparalleled levels of customer care and industry expertise. We are proud to share this with the Logistics UK members.”
