Transhipment & cargo handling

When cargo needs moving, we're ready to help

MLK provides transhipment, load-transfer and cargo-handling support for commercial freight movements in the Immingham, Grimsby and wider Humber area.

Transhipment can be planned in advance or arranged when plans change. We unload, transfer and reload suitable cargo between trailers, containers and other transport units, and adjust or secure loads before they move on.

Where cargo needs to wait for its next vehicle, we can hold it for a short time, subject to suitable space being available.

Cargo arrived damaged?

If a load needs restacking, rewrapping or repalletising before it can travel, that’s cargo rework and recovery. Many jobs involve both, and we can talk you through the options.
