Around the Mediterranean goods arrive by combining road and sea. We serve Turkey, North Africa, Israel, Greece and the islands with shipped trailers, full containers and groupage.
Answers to the most common questions.
Which Mediterranean countries do you serve?
Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Greece, Malta and Cyprus, with road and ship solutions, containers and groupage.
What is ro-ro transport?
It is transport in which the truck or trailer boards a ferry and continues by road on arrival, without unloading the goods during the journey.
Which certificate is needed for Turkey?
For industrial products in free circulation in the Union the A.TR certificate is needed, allowing duty-free entry into Turkey. We prepare it together with the export declaration.
Truck, ferry or container: how do you choose?
One sea, many rules
The Mediterranean brings together Union countries such as Greece, Malta and Cyprus, countries tied to Europe by a customs union such as Turkey, and countries with association agreements such as Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Israel. Customs, origin documents and checks differ for each. We always start from the country and the goods, not the vehicle.
Ro-ro: the truck boards the ship
For many destinations the trailer is loaded onto a ferry and continues by road on arrival. The goods stay on the vehicle from loading to delivery, with no transhipment. It is the most used solution for full and part loads to Greece, Turkey, Tunisia and Morocco.
Containers and groupage
For regular volumes, heavy goods or destinations served mainly by container lines, such as Egypt and Israel, goods are loaded in a full container. For small quantities there is sea groupage, where the goods share a container with other consignments.
Origin and certificates
To Turkey, industrial products in free circulation travel with the A.TR certificate. To Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Israel the agreements with the Union provide for proof of preferential origin. We prepare the correct document, after checking that the product qualifies.
