Belfast to Europe — Local Coverage & Gateways
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). For palletised or large shipments destined for European warehouses, we consolidate at our Belfast sorting facility, reducing idle time and cost.
