Understanding Our Daily Shipping and Departure Windows

Every shipment moving between the UK and Ireland goes through multiple operational and compliance stages before departure. To ensure freight reaches scheduled sailings each day, PTI Express operates carefully managed workflows for both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Daily Shipping to Northern Ireland

Our Northern Ireland service operates to strict departure schedules to ensure freight is loaded, processed, and ready for evening sailings.

To guarantee same-day departure:

• Freight should arrive at the PTI Express depot by 18:30

• Northern Ireland trailers depart our depot at approximately 19:00

This operational window allows our team to:

• Process and manifest freight

• Complete final loading checks

• Confirm shipment documentation

• Secure cargo for onward transit

By maintaining these structured processes, we help ensure your deliveries move efficiently through the supply chain and arrive on schedule.

PTI Express also offers:

• Warehousing and consolidation services

• In-house customs clearance support

• Assistance with shipping documentation and compliance requirements

Our customs team helps ensure all pre-check and regulatory requirements are completed before departure, reducing the risk of delays at ports and helping your freight move efficiently into Northern Ireland.

Daily Shipping to the Republic of Ireland

Our Republic of Ireland service is designed to support high-volume daily freight movement with reliable and consistent departures.

Republic of Ireland trailers are loaded throughout the day with both palletised and carton freight before departing in the late afternoon once:

• Freight planning is completed

• Trailer capacity is optimised

• Customs and compliance checks are cleared

This structured approach allows PTI Express to maintain efficient transit schedules while ensuring freight is prepared for smooth onward movement through Irish ports.

Freight Loading Requirements with PTI Express

Shipping freight across the Irish Sea requires goods to be securely packaged and prepared for transport. PTI Express handles both palletised freight and carton shipments, with clear loading specifications designed to protect your goods and maximise transport efficiency.

Carton and Non-Palletised Freight

PTI Express also handles carton and non-palletised freight for businesses shipping smaller consignments between the UK and Ireland.

To ensure safe and efficient transport, cartons should be:

• Securely packaged

• Clearly labelled

• Suitable for manual or mechanical handling

• Packed to prevent movement or damage during transit

For larger carton volumes or mixed freight consignments, our team can advise on the most efficient loading and transport solution.

Maximum Pallet Height

Our standard maximum pallet height is:

• 2.3 metres

Freight exceeding this height may require a bespoke transport solution, as taller pallets may not fit safely within standard trailers.

If you are shipping oversized or non-standard freight, our team can advise on the most suitable transport arrangement.

Pallet Types and Weight Flexibility

PTI Express accommodates a wide range of pallet configurations to support different industries and shipment types, provided pallets are suitable for mechanical handling and are in good condition.

We regularly handle:

• Standard UK pallets (1200mm x 1000mm)

• Euro pallets (1200mm x 800mm)

• Oversized length pallets

• Abnormal or non-standard freight

Our standard pallet weight capacity is:

• Up to 1500kg per pallet

We understand that not every shipment fits standard dimensions or weight limits. PTI Express has the facilities and operational experience to handle oversized and abnormal freight where required.

For larger or specialist shipments, we recommend contacting our team in advance so we can provide a tailored logistics solution for your specific requirements.
