With a more extensive network than any other operator, P&O Ferrymasters is Europe’s number-one name in multimodal transportation and logistics. We offer an unrivalled shortsea, road, and rail network across the continent, plus access to the global logistics expertise of our parent company, DP World.
In 2022, P&O Ferrymasters joined forces with sister company Unifeeder, which operates Europe’s largest feeder and shortsea network. The result is a multimodal transportation engine delivering cost efficiencies, broad geographic reach, and guaranteed access to capacity on key maritime routes.
Our key strengths are our model, our people, and our reach, underpinned by a highly resilient network and compelling sustainability advantages:
Model
We have access to Europe's deepest and broadest multimodal asset base, including trailers, containers, vessels, trains, ports, terminals, and cross-docking facilities. This means we are able to tailor solutions for customers in any sector, whatever their needs.
People
P&O Ferrymasters is one of the pioneers of modern multimodal transportation and complementary logistics solutions. Our 800 plus people, drawn from over 30 nations, represent the largest and most experienced team of multimodal experts in Europe, dedicated to managing trade flows.
Reach
With our extensive pan-European network, frequent departures, modern equipment, robust contingency planning, and many years of experience, we are able to offer reliable services, scale capacity quickly, and respond promptly to volume fluctuations.
Our customers include some of the world’s largest FMCG companies, carmakers, agricultural producers, retailers, and manufacturers. Via sea, rail, and road we ship everything across Europe, from sheet steel to shampoo; from fruit to flat-pack furniture.
Resilience
Our integrated planning, scheduling and transport management systems deliver unprecedented levels of real-time visibility through the supply chain, allowing us to optimise resource utilisation and improve efficiency.
Our centrally organised commercial and service delivery teams offer customers a single point of contact and efficient communication. We offer full Track & Trace, including direct tracking of GPS-equipped containers, via our own platform or fed directly into customers’ systems.
Sustainability
Our unique planning capabilities enable us to optimise efficiencies, for example by minimising empty runs, so reducing emissions. Environmental performance is a key criteria when selecting our subcontractors and we work closely with our customers and partners to drive continuous improvement in terms of emissions.
Vessels and trains emit far less carbon per tonne/km compared with trucks, meaning that expanded use of multi-modal transport solutions can significantly reduce the environmental footprint of transportation.
It all adds up to a reliable, resilient, and cost-efficient service from Europe’s most experienced multimodal team.
