We are proactive and dedicated specialists in supply chain solutions and serve a range of different industries and companies. As demand and markets fluctuate, we provide transportation services that you can rely on. In addition to fully integrated supply chain solutions, DFDS offers 3pl and 4pl logistics, all backed up by our European network of strategically placed terminals and hubs.
At DFDS, we also offer cold chain logistics for food and other perishables. Our comprehensive services encompass both transportation and storage, specifically tailored for temperature-sensitive foods. This includes seafood, as well as wholesale food items like frozen herbs, frozen vegetables, and chilled oils.
If you are transporting full loads or large volumes of cargo, then you need a full container load (FCL) or a full trailer load (FTL). At DFDS, we know that delivering relevant and cost-effective transportation relies on the willingness to continuously invest in state-of-the-art logistics equipment built to handle large volumes of cargo. We offer environmentally friendly solutions and constantly invest in emission-reducing technology. 95% of all DFDS trucks are Euro 5 or 6 and our reefer containers use carbon dioxide which helps reduce the global warming impact of the cooling systems to half.
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.
At DFDS, we own our assets – from terminals to vessels and trucks. Thanks to economies of scale and the ability to consolidate cargo, DFDS will keep the supply chain moving, regardless of the types of transport. Whether you have a less than trailer load aka groupage transport (LTL) or a less than container load (LCL), our specialised equipment ensures that your cargo will arrive in pristine condition, every time. Our part loads transport services are perfect if you want your items to be handled carefully and professionally by the end customer.

Logistics services involve the managing and moving of goods from one location to another. This includes selecting appropriate transport modes, optimising delivery routes, and coordinating shipments.
A logistics and transport company manages the flow of goods across the supply chain. This includes coordinating transport, warehousing, inventory management, and delivery. The main goal is to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure secure, reliable operations.
The four modes of transportation are road, rail, air, and sea. Road is often used for its flexibility over short distances, while rail is ideal for transporting bulk goods across longer routes. Air transport is chosen for fast, high-value cargo, and sea freight is best suited for large, international shipments.
