UK’S LARGEST PALLET WOOD SHIPMENT ARRIVES AT SCOTT PALLETS At a time when shipping is under severe pressure globally, with many national shortages across all types of timber products, we took the pro-active decision to engage with the 118.5m general cargo vessel “Norrland”. Norrland recently arrived at the port of Rosyth from Riga, Latvia, carrying 6678m³ of sustainably sourced timber exclusively for Scott Pallets. This is understood to be the largest pallet wood vessel to arrive in the UK to date!
The timber on board was a mix of hardwood and softwood species, all from sustainably managed forests. We’ve had a dedicated procurement team based in Latvia since 2004, and it’s thanks to the strong relationships and experience of our team there, that we managed to accrue this valuable cargo. The resilience of our supply chain and our successful partnerships with the largest mills in the UK and the Baltics have allowed us to maintain continuity of service for our customers.
