Specialist container handling, freight forwarding, and logistics for cargo moving through Port of Tyne. Road collected, expertly handled, delivered on time.
The Port of Tyne serves as the North East's primary gateway for container and general cargo, handling imports and exports for businesses across Tyneside, Northumberland, and the wider North East region.
JD Services collects cargo from the Port of Tyne by road and handles it at our specialist Avonmouth facility. Container devanning, stuffing, heavy freight, and complex cargo are all within our capability — and we provide the specialist equipment that generic handlers don't carry.
Customs clearance and sea freight forwarding are available alongside handling, giving customers a fully integrated logistics solution for cargo moving through Tyne.
