Cargo Ferry Crossings

ENS (Entry Summary Declaration) and S&S GB (Safety & Security Great Britain) are safety declarations required for the transport of goods to the European Union and the United Kingdom.

– ENS is the entry declaration required within the EU. Carriers must submit it before crossing the border to allow customs authorities to assess the risk and ensure safety.

– S&S GB is the UK equivalent of ENS after Brexit. It serves the same function, ensuring control over imported goods and compliance with customs requirements.

Both declarations are crucial for the safety and smooth flow of goods in international trade.

Yes, most ferry routes allow the transport of dangerous goods (ADR). However, it is essential to verify whether a specific route permits the transport of a particular ADR class and to inform the carrier about the cargo before the crossing to meet all safety requirements.

– BAF (Bunker Adjustment Factor) is a fuel surcharge applied by ferry operators to offset the costs of fluctuating fuel prices. It is updated dynamically – usually monthly – based on market fluctuations.

– ETS (Emission Trading System) is a charge resulting from the EU Emission Trading System. From 2024, it applies to maritime transport, meaning ferry operators add costs related to emissions.

No, we only handle ferry crossings for commercial vehicles.

Most ferry crossings offer a plug-in connection, although on some routes this may incur an additional fee. You must always specify this requirement during booking as the number of available connections is limited.

For crossings booked for a specific day and time, failing to notify that the vehicle will not sail will result in a NO SHOW fee. For routes where an open ticket is booked and the driver can use it within a given time frame specified by the carrier, the booking will simply be automatically canceled – free of charge.
