Exporting to Malta from the UK
Malta is a gorgeous island off the Italian coast. It has many long sandy beaches, stunning scenery, along with historical and cultural wonders to discover. It is a popular holiday spot due to its warm climate and so much to do and see. The island also has a thriving economy and British goods are sought by businesses there.
At Barrington Freight, we’ll typically send goods door-to-door from the UK to continental Europe via Rotterdam or Calais with onward travel to Malta via Italy picking up a roll-on-roll-off ferry service from the port of Salerno.
