Hazardous Cargoes

We accept all classes of hazardous goods on our Poole/ Cherbourg route and we are also able to carry a wide range of less restrictive categories on our other routes.

In order that we can fully comply with international regulations, we must have a minimum of 24 hours notice. Depending on the route you wish to take, it may also be necessary for you to provide prior notification by fax to the appropriate harbour authority. Specific tariffs are available on request.
