Solent Gateway’s Special Cargo solutions
It was great to meet you at Break Bulk Europe in Rotterdam this year.
Not everything can be conveniently shipped in a container and our specialist teams make the process as simple as possible by offering a complete handling service, from yard to vessel or vessel to storage.
Whether your consignment is arriving at the port already lashed and loaded on a flat rack, or in need of lifting, lashing and securing on-site or on-vessel, we are in the best position to ensure all your cargo handling needs are accommodated and can assist you without impacting core container operations.
The port’s highly-skilled port operatives are able to deploy specialist lifting equipment with the ability to load and unload non-unitised and out of gauge cargoes alongside the standard container operations, as well as more complicated heavy project and break bulk cargoes.
The team has years of experience with a variety of different project cargoes, so our proven track record provides the best assurance that regardless of the shape, size, weight or complexity of your cargo, we really can make that process as simple, secure and stress free as possible.
One of Solent Gateway’s key features is its unique rail connection direct to berth, which allows customers to discharge from ship to rail. The port is served by 13km of rail siding and its own dedicated locomotives which helps customers to achieve greater efficiencies.
The rail connection is utilised effectively by many of our existing customers to forward their freight after arrival. This is part of the additional services on offer, alongside extensive warehousing, haulage and customs clearance.
