Since then, under the guidance of a highly-experienced, hands-on management team, Maritime has grown significantly to offer complete supply chain coverage, now operating 1,600 vehicles, and employing 3,000 drivers and staff from over 40 sites in prime port and inland locations.

Headquartered in Felixstowe, Suffolk, Maritime provides a comprehensive range of services to support international and domestic supply chains, including container transport, domestic distribution, container storage and ancillary services, container repairs, freight management, and port-centric warehousing. Through its Tilbury-based fleet sales division, Secondhand Trucks, Maritime is also the UK’s leading reseller of premium, articulated trucks.

Customers comprise blue-chip global shipping lines, freight management companies and cargo owners, including leading grocers and high street retailers.

In 2019, the Company launched its rail division, Maritime Intermodal, as part of its ongoing commitment to providing a full end-to-end logistics solution to its customers. Maritime currently operates more than 30 rail services daily running throughout the UK.

Today, Maritime is flexible, focused, and successful, with a reputation for delivering practical, reliable, and cost-effective solutions in a rapidly changing transport and logistics landscape.
