For companies shipping goods to Ireland, the challenge is no longer simply transporting freight across the Irish Sea — it’s meeting strict delivery schedules, customs requirements, and departure deadlines. Timing, compliance, and operational precision are essential to ensuring freight reaches its destination without delays.
At PTI Express, we understand the importance of dependable logistics. Our structured daily departure schedules and loading specifications are designed to ensure your freight moves efficiently through every stage of the supply chain.
Whether you’re shipping palletised freight, cartons, oversized cargo, or managing regular daily deliveries, our experienced team is here to help.
Get in touch with PTI Express today to discuss your shipping requirements to Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Maintaining strict loading deadlines and operational standards allows PTI Express to complete all required regulatory and compliance checks before freight departs our depot.
This proactive approach helps ensure shipments meet all regulatory requirements and can proceed quickly through port operations with minimal delays.
