Short Sea Shipping

Ireland’s position on the western edge of Europe means that access to the European continent requires a maritime link – and getting that link right is critical for any Irish business trading with Europe. Transgoma Logistics operates reliable short sea shipping services that connect Ireland with the UK and mainland Europe efficiently, cost-effectively, and without unnecessary complexity.

Connecting Ireland to Europe

We work with established ferry and shipping routes to move freight between Ireland, the UK, France, Spain, and beyond. Our short sea services are designed to complement our road network, giving you a seamless door-to-door solution that combines maritime and road transport under one operator.

For temperature-controlled cargo, we coordinate refrigerated trailer movements on ferry crossings, ensuring cold chain integrity is maintained throughout the sea leg of the journey. There are no gaps in monitoring, no unmanaged handovers – just continuous care for your cargo from the moment it leaves your facility.

A Practical Alternative to Pure Road

Short sea shipping offers a number of advantages over long-distance road transport alone. It can reduce transit times on certain routes, lower transport costs for heavy or bulky loads, ease the administrative burden of multiple border crossings, and reduce the carbon footprint of your supply chain. For regular European movements, it often represents the smartest and most efficient option available.

Stress-Free Freight Crossings

We handle all the logistics of the crossing – scheduling, documentation, trailer management, and coordination with port operations – so you do not have to. Our team has extensive experience navigating the requirements of cross-channel freight movements, including post-Brexit documentation for UK-routed shipments.
