Any converyance or freight firm carrying goods will have to answer; what is the most efficient route to make ferry bookings on to move freight vehicles around Europe?
This largely revolves around how often and how much freight is there to move, and most importantly, where in Europe? 86% of freight moves in and out of the Uk on Dover to Calais, Dover to Dunkerque or Folkestone to Calais routes. This is largely because it has the shortest transit time which means it has the lowest sea freight rates. However, the smart cargo operator needs to look at all the ferry options. With the ever expanding profile of large goods car (Lgv) checks by government agencies such as police and Vosa (Vehicle and Operator Services Agency), an increasingly prominent observation is driver rest periods. If driver rest periods can be worked into less beloved long sea routes, although the sea freight may be higher, the over all end to end costs could be more favourable. Less running miles means reduced running costs along with helping you to sell out your businesses carbon footprint.

If you haven't had a look at long sea options, it is time to do so. As a general rule, long sea ferry routes do cost more than short sea Dover options for all vehicles from 6m transit vans for couriers, up to 18m road trains. However, the smart haulier keeps an eye on all the ferry options. As a follow of the economic down turn, over the last 18 months, ferry rates for cargo carrying freight vehicles have gently reduced. Do not expect them to be as cheap as Dover options. But long sea ferry routes are trying to furnish cost efficient alternatives to short sea options. There will be a ration of your business, any way small, that can transfer to save you money.
You would ask a plumber about a leaking pipe because that is all he does. Speak to an agent who specializes in booking ferries throughout Europe. You may be pleasantly surprised.
