Enhancing Trade Efficiency for Irish Exporters
Dachser Ireland has unveiled its latest logistics solution, Smart Landbridge Connect, designed to accelerate Irish exports to European markets. With up to 40 weekly departures serving 35 countries, Dachser leverages its extensive European network to provide a faster, more flexible alternative to direct ferry routes.
By reintroducing the UK Landbridge as a viable transit option, Dachser Ireland becomes the first major logistics provider to revert to the pre-Brexit European service model. This strategic move offers Irish exporters greater efficiency, increased frequency of departures, and reduced transit times, overcoming the limitations of direct ferry services, which often face capacity constraints, limited sailings, and weather-related disruptions.
Restoring Fast and Efficient Trade Routes
John Van Den Berg, Managing Director of Dachser Ireland, emphasises the competitive advantage this service provides to Irish exporters. “By restoring a fast and efficient UK Landbridge option, Dachser is enabling seamless movement of goods through the UK via a simple T2 transit procedure. This ensures Irish exports reach European markets more swiftly and reliably,” he explains.
Through this innovative logistics solution, Irish businesses benefit from Dachser’s high-quality European groupage network. With over 220 branches handling more than 77 million shipments annually, the network offers unparalleled reliability, transparency, and security—critical factors for industries such as pharmaceuticals and hazardous goods transport.
A Trusted and Secure Logistics Partner
Dachser’s proprietary IT systems and eLogistics platform further enhance supply chain visibility, providing exporters with real-time tracking and operational efficiencies. “Our integrated network across Ireland, the UK, and continental Europe enables us to offer the highest level of reassurance, which is crucial for our customers,” adds Van Den Berg.
The introduction of Smart Landbridge Connect underscores Dachser’s commitment to re-establishing smooth and efficient trade connections, ensuring that Irish exporters can compete effectively in European markets post-Brexit.
