Which port would a container from China land at to come to Barnsley? nt

.

 

Any as I imagine the ship will be carry containers destined for all over.

 

They'd definitely be able to group stuff for the various regions. nt

 

RE: I'm guessing Felixstowe nt

</p>

A supplier in China has asked for the nearest port to us which makes sense as I reckon sea miles cost a fraction of transporting a single container by road. Hull maybe?</p>

 

If it's any help

A large percentage of the steel we export goes via Goole & Immingham, some of which goes to China.

 

I'm going to have to make some calls aren't I? nt

 

Local Chamber of Commerce Windy. They're usually the ones you have to see to get paperwork stamped and approved for import/export. They'll probably have the answers you need straight away.

 

Yup nt

 

Good idea, thanks. nt

 

Any port

if there's a storm

 

Depends on the shipping line

But 80% of container traffic uses Fxt

 

Is it full of cockle-pickers? nt

 

RE: Hull will be nearest

Most containers arriving at Hull docks tend to arrive via Rotterdam, which is the largest European port and acts as a hub for much of the Far East import.

 

Hull is not a viable port , could tranship to Liverpool but

felixstowe will be best bet - find out shipping line </p>

I could clear the conatiner for you - are you paying the freight </p>

I work in imports </p>

Cockburns nt

 

We import quite a lot from China and it comes in to various Ports.

We use:</p>

Mostly Southampton. </p>

but also use Felixstowe, Liverpool and Hull.</p>
