Choosing the right load: full or partial

A full load refers to cargo that occupies an entire container or trailer, offering exclusive use of the space. Full container loads (FCL) and Full trailer loads (FTL) are ideal when you have large volumes to ship. For smaller shipments, a part load can be more cost-effective.

At DFDS we offer the flexibility to add integrated solutions to your full load, ensuring seamless management of your supply chain. Our environmentally friendly FCL and FTL services use state-of-the-art equipment and emission-reducing technologies for sustainability.

Special cargo solutions for oversized loads

Special cargo refers to out of gauge or oversized loads, such as construction materials, large machinery, or wind turbine components. When a load exceeds standard size or weight limits and needs specialised handling, our special cargo services meet these needs.

From extendable flatbeds to low loaders, DFDS offers a range of options tailored to your specific requirements. As special cargo transport often requires careful coordination, our integrated logistics solutions will ensure a smooth and efficient process from start to finish.

Efficient shipping for part loads

When you say part loads you automatically think about LTL and LCL shipping. Less than Trailer Loads (LTL) and Less than Container Loads (LCL), are ideal when your cargo doesn’t fill an entire truck or container.

You should choose part loads when you want a cost-effective option, and when your shipment can be combined with others. LTL and LCL shipping allow you to save on transport while still receiving specialized care. You can also add integrated solutions to manage your part loads, ensuring seamless delivery across your entire supply chain.
