We ensure your orders arriving at Shoreham Port are efficiently discharged from the vessel to quayside, where they are scanned and barcoded for identification.

From the moment goods arrive with us, they are recorded on our bespoke Track-A-Pack system, which allows our customers to view real-time information about their stock. Orders will be securely stored in our warehouse until cleared for customs and we are given instruction to deliver the goods to their final destination.

The port operatives will then pick the order, ensuring goods are collated in place for easy collection. As well as working with trusted third-party hauliers, we can now offer in-house road freight through our new HGV fleet, securing even greater control and certainty over bookings and deliveries
