It involves moving items such as boats, ship spares, containers, and marine supplies using specialised vehicles, route planning, and compliant haulage processes to ensure safe handling and reliable delivery within marine industry supply chains.
Haulage services for the marine industry cost between £1.50 and £3.00 per mile for road transport, depending on the specific requirements of the shipment.
