ROUTES FROM THE UK TO THE SHETLAND ISLANDS
Although it is possible to air freight goods to the Shetland Islands, this rarely offers good value for money. Only very light or high-value items make sense to send this way. By contrast, road freight is an extremely cost-effective option for the majority of commercial goods. We will typically send them via Thurso to Kirkwall and then to Lerwick, Shetland’s main port. From there, your goods can be sent on to any location they need to get to throughout the archipelago. We can reach all of the populated islands, including Fair Isle, the most southerly of the Shetland Islands.
Our network covers the entire UK, with collections from cities such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Glasgow, guaranteeing convenient access no matter where your shipment is located. Vehicles are scheduled to meet with ferry connections from Aberdeen to Lerwick, keeping delivery times short and reliable.
