The key to Geest Line’s service is versatility with cargo carried as breakbulk or in containers ranging from popular ten foot units, used mainly for personal effects, to 40 foot boxes.
Geest Line receives breakbulk and containerised cargo at its Terminal in Portsmouth. Breakbulk cargo is palletised, shrinkwrapped and banded to provide a faster, more secure and efficient shipment. Geest Line will also consolidate cargo into containers on request, allowing shippers to deliver from various locations and have cargo loaded into one container.
Besides ship’s gear catering for cargo up to 36 tonnes, heavier cargo can be handled using shore-based cranes.
