DELIVERING THE GOODS
With more than 50 years experience in the region, Geest Line is your direct route to the Caribbean for all your cargo needs. Geest Line has fostered trade links between the UK and the Caribbean for more than 50 years, and today carries more cargo between Europe and the Windward and Leeward islands than any other shipping line. The origins of the service lie in the shipment of bananas eastbound. Instead of the ships returning with ballast, it provided the perfect opportunity for establishing a general cargo service carrying everything from small packages to large project machinery. The flexibility of the service is maintained today, with a wide range of breakbulk and containerised cargo carried on the weekly westbound departures, which sail from Portsmouth in the UK and also Le Havre in France. So whether you are shipping a pallet of goods, a truck, have a requirement for containers or special equipment including open top, flat-rack containers or reefers, Geest Line can handle it. Surveys show that Geest Line has the highest schedule reliability for round-trip crossings and the shortest transit
times to the first port of call in the Caribbean. The movement of perishable fruits means that ships must arrive and depart on time, enabling Geest Line to offer a precise, fixed-day service that allows UK exporters to be certain their goods will arrive at the scheduled time. In addition, our experience in the Caribbean puts us in an unrivalled position to offer efficient, careful handling and swift clearance of cargo. Geest Line’s comprehensive network of island calls also means that we can offer an efficient interisland service, enabling exporters and importers to ship their cargoes regionally within the Caribbean. A container and break-bulk service is also offered alongside our existing European service. Our services run exclusively to the Caribbean. This means that by concentrating on the region we know best, we can maintain our position as the No.1 shipping line to the Caribbean.
