Port of Bilbao

Northern Spain’s leading Ro‑Ro port, with regular services from Portsmouth and Poole. Handles unaccompanied curtain-side trailers carrying automotive parts, building materials, and palletised freight.

Port of Valencia

Spain’s busiest freight port on the east coast. Supports curtain-side and temperature-controlled loads including FMCG, electronics, and packaged food for inland distribution.

Port of Barcelona

High-volume port serving Catalonia and southern France. Commonly used for retail goods, furniture, and consumer products. Strong Ro‑Ro and logistics connections inland.

Port of Málaga

Southern Spanish port suited to construction and project cargo. Receives curtain-side trailers with industrial goods, machinery, and building supplies.

Why Ro-Ro & Curtain-Side?

Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping allows fast port turnaround and lower handling costs—especially suited to unaccompanied curtain-side trailers.

Curtain-side trailers provide flexibility for loading/unloading from the side, making them ideal for palletised freight, longer items, and multi-stop drops.

With regular crossings from southern UK ports to Bilbao and Santander, and haulage connections across Barcelona, Valencia, and other Spanish cities, we ensure reliable, secure, and professional freight transport between the UK and Spain.
