“DFDS has a very strong European network both at sea and on the roads and with centrally located transshipment centers in the Baltic and the UK. Therefore, we have many strings to play in order to find the best and most efficient transport solutions for our customers. In conjunction with our own ferry routes, we will be able to pick up a load from a customer in Lithuania on Friday and deliver it to recipients throughout the UK on Wednesday,” says Lars Thorsen, Head of DFDS’ logistics business in Lithuania. He is heading a strong team of people with many years of experience with the Lithuanian transport industry.
The transport center partners in the UK are located in Basildon, to the east of London, and in Kettering in the heart of England. Both centers offer easy access to the main city centers.
After the summer, he even expects to be able to offer customers transports to and from Italy, based on DFDS’ well established road and rail services between Northern Europe and Italy.
DFDS also receives goods that are delivered to Vilnius cross-docking center to be transshipped for further transport to Russia and Kazakhstan. Moreover, DFDS already has a number of transports between Sweden and Russia with goods for a Volvo assembly plant in Russia, as well as goods such as Ikea and construction materials.
“Our cross-docking centers where goods will be transshipped for distribution or further transport, are located in Vilnius, Kaunas and in Riga in Latvia.
