With up to forty weekly departures to destinations across thirty-five countries, Dachser Ireland leverages its leading European network to offer an unrivalled service. By utilising the UK landbridge, enhanced flexibility, faster transit times, and more frequent departures are ensured compared to the ferry route option for Irish export traffic destined for the European market. This makes Dachser Ireland the first major logistics provider to revert to the Pre-Brexit European service.
As part of ongoing efforts, Dachser remains committed to re-establishing the smooth and efficient trade connections across Europe that were impacted by Brexit. The limitation of direct ferry services between Irish ports and mainland Europe, along with capacity constraints, limited sailings, and weather-related disruptions, has posed significant competitive challenges for Irish exporters in European markets.
“By restoring a fast and efficient UK Landbridge option, Dachser is creating a competitive advantage for Irish exporters,” says 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”, he adds.
High-quality-network
Irish customers will benefit from Dachser’s high-quality, market-leading European groupage network, which annually handles over 77 million shipments through the logistics provider’s 220 own-operated branches across the continent. The reliability, transparency, and security of Dachser’s in-house IT-systems and eLogistics platform offer peace of mind, particularly for Irish pharmaceutical and hazardous cargo shippers, as well as exporters in general.
“Ultimately, it is our own network of offices in Ireland, the UK, and across continental Europe that enables us to provide the highest level of reassurance—something that is paramount to our customers,” concludes Van Den Berg. With Smart Landbridge Connect, Dachser continues to deliver exceptional performance alongside innovative service enhancements.
