Some of the trailer services now move by ferry from Turkey to Trieste, Italy, then by rail to Mannheim, Germany before the final leg to the UK. The service offers the same lead time as the standard road service, bypasses weekend driving restrictions and is largely unaffected by the weather.
Mr Stephenson commends these services to all fashion clients and garment manufacturers or retailers as a means of reducing the carbon footprint of their supply chain. He concludes: “Consumers are now more concerned than ever over issues impacting on the environment. This is something the industry must increasingly note and take positive action on.”
