Service Information
Capital of Portugal, Lisbon houses 27% of Portugal’s population. So it is little surprise that we had to find the right partner to represent us. For many years we have worked with several companies (and still do to some extent), each providing us with their own specialist service.
Whilst this had worked in the short term, it was necessary to engage with a true commercial partner to cement development for the long term. So in May 2014 we formed a commercial relationship with SDV Lisbon, later to become part of the Bolloré group.
Our freight services to and from Lisbon
In addition to the regular line trailers of Tuesday and Friday which serve Lisbon directly, we also provide additional export departures which make direct deliveries to some strategic locations in South West Spain on approach to Lisbon.

Our partner in Lisbon
Since May 2014, our partner in Lisbon has been enter SDV Lisbon, now re-branded as part of the Bolloré group. Different from many of our other European partners in that they are a branch of a global group, but similar in that they operate like an independent company responsible for their own direct daily services to most European countries.
