Which gateways and coverage areas does T&C Logistics use for Belfast to Europe shipping?
T&C Logistics uses Belfast International Airport (BFS) for air freight to EU hubs and Port of Belfast for consolidated sea freight, with additional access to Heathrow (2–3 hours drive) and Larne Harbour (30 minutes north) for Irish ferries, covering all Belfast postcodes BT1 to BT14 plus Lisburn, Carrickfergus, Bangor, and Newtownabbey.
Our Belfast operations leverage two key gateways: Belfast International Airport (BFS) on the outskirts, handling air freight to EU hubs, and Port of Belfast, ideal for consolidated sea freight. For urgent EU shipments, we offer air collections to Heathrow (2–3 hours drive via the M1 corridor) or direct hand-offs to Irish ferries departing Larne Harbour (30 minutes north). This multi-gateway approach means we can choose the fastest, most cost-effective route for your cargo.
We cover all Belfast postcodes—BT1 to BT14—plus surrounding areas: Lisburn (M501, 8 miles south), Carrickfergus (A2, 10 miles north), Bangor (A2, 13 miles south-east), and Newtownabbey (M2, 5 miles north).
