We have two depots, one in Launceston where the majority of our general cargo is delivered and from there it is securely packed into containers ready to be freighted by road to Bridport. Once containers are received at Bridport they are then loaded on to our vessels along with any other cargo which may be booked to go to the islands, such as Trucks, machinery, vehicles, livestock & fertilizer and much more.
