Moving goods to and from a vessel, particularly chemicals and dangerous goods, requires more than a van and a driver. It requires the correct ADR certification, the right vehicle, and a clear understanding of what can travel together and what can’t. Altham provides transport built around exactly that requirement.

Our fleet and drivers hold the ADR certification needed to carry dangerous goods legally and safely, covering everything from marine chemicals through to general port logistics. This isn’t a subcontracted afterthought bolted onto another service. It’s a capability we maintain directly, because a delay or a compliance failure on the transport side can hold up an entire order.

Our transport service typically covers:

• Marine and port logistics
• Chemical and dangerous goods transport
• ADR-certified haulage for regulated cargo
• General freight movement in support of other Altham services

Transport is usually arranged as part of a wider order rather than booked on its own. If you’re already placing a chemical sales or technical stores order with us, we can arrange the transport in the same conversation, rather than you needing to source a separate ADR-certified haulier and coordinate timings yourself.

Reach and consignment size vary considerably from one job to the next. Whether you’re moving a single container or a full load, the same standard of certification and care applies.

If you need marine or ADR transport arranged for a vessel calling at a UK port, get in touch and we’ll talk through what you need.
