Southampton Container Terminal

Southampton Container Terminal We provide our customers with fast, reliable and secure services to move their containers through the strategically located port of Southampton Time is money.

End to end, door to door, tracked, traced, low-carbon, secure, cost-effective and, of course, on time: never before has moving goods from 'A' to 'B' been so demanding. Shipside straddleRetailers depend on swift, slick, efficient and highly complex supply chains to bring their goods from all over the world to the shop shelf. Often we are talking about 15 minute delivery windows. Reliability is vita

l. We understand the pressure on our customers. We recognise our role as a vital link in the supply chain, and we are confident that our own strengths and efficiencies make us a link they can depend on. Our customers tell us we are the most productive terminal for shipside and landside operations in the UK. We intend to stay that way. We are not a ‘stand-alone’ operation; we never forget that what happens in the container terminal can have a significant knock-on effect further along the supply chain. Underlying everything we do is a dedication to productivity and customer service.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: For hauliers with VBS bookings tonight

VBS Helpdesk – phone under maintenance tonight.

Due to routine maintenance the VBS helpdesk phone line will be out of action for up to an hour between 19:00 and 20:00 this evening, 26th April 2016.

All bookings will be extended in the gate from 19:00-20:00, thus allowing flexibility for trucks which may be late. This should reduce the need for calls to extend bookings while the line is down.

ARE YOU A HAULIER? DO YOU USE SOUTHAMPTON?

PLEASE HELP US TO HELP YOU

We have seen a rise in the number of hauliers requesting their import container to be re-adjusted after they have been loaded.

These ‘re-seats’ result in extra loading time for both our drivers and you.

The most common cause is that, prior to collecting their import, the driver hasn’t adjusted their trailer size properly for a 20ft or 40ft box.

Please could we ask for your co-operation remembering to

• Check that your trailer size is adjusted to the correct box length
• Ensure that twist locks are fully opened
• Double check that the box is sitting correctly before giving the DPWS van driver a ‘thumbs up’.

This will save us time and get you on the road quicker.

Many thanks in advance. DP World Southampton
