← All services

Ecotech MaxSpeed transports cargo to the UK and Ireland through multiple ferry corridors and Eurotunnel. We use the main French ports (Calais–Dover, Cherbourg/Le Havre–Portsmouth) and Eurotunnel (Coquelles–Folkestone), but also alternative routes from Spain (Bilbao/Santander–Portsmouth/Plymouth), Netherlands (Hoek van Holland/Rotterdam–Harwich/Killingholme), Belgium (Zeebrugge), Germany and Denmark (Esbjerg). The corridor is chosen based on final destination, urgency and cargo type. For Ireland we use the direct Cherbourg–Rosslare/Dublin route or via UK.

Steady volume on this route, with multiple weekly departures. Capacity available for full truckload (FTL) and groupage (LTL).

Frequently asked questions

How long do post-Brexit customs formalities take?
Document preparation (T1, ENS, EX1, GVMS) is done in advance, before departure. At the border, if all documents are in order, crossing is smooth. Delays usually happen when the exporter provides incomplete documents – preventing this is part of our service.
What's the difference between ferry and Eurotunnel?
Eurotunnel is faster (35-min crossing) and runs at high frequency; ferries have higher capacity and different costs depending on operator. We pick the route based on final destination, cargo type and availability on both crossings.
Do you also ship to Northern Ireland?
Yes. Northern Ireland has its own post-Brexit regime (Windsor Framework). We handle the additional formalities.
Do you accept ADR goods for the UK?
Yes, we're ADR-authorised. The UK accepts ADR classes 1–9 with compliant documentation.
