Damietta to Trieste RoRo

RoRo stands for roll-on/roll-off. The trailer drives onto the vessel on its own wheels and drives off the same way. The cargo is never lifted by crane and never moved from a container to a truck. What was loaded at the factory door in Egypt is exactly what is opened at the consignee's door in Europe.

The route, step by step

  1. Loading at the factory or warehouse in Egypt.
  2. Inland haulage to Damietta port.
  3. Drive on to the vessel at Damietta.
  4. Sailing to the port of Trieste in northern Italy.
  5. Drive off at Trieste and clearance.
  6. Road delivery straight to the consignee's door, with multi-drop if needed.

Why Trieste

Trieste sits at the northern tip of the Adriatic, a short road distance from northern Italy, Austria, southern Germany and Switzerland. The trailer reaches central Europe by road without sailing around the continent. From Trieste we serve six markets: Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Spain.

We do not claim RoRo is always better. When a container wins on cost we tell you, and we price both so you can see the difference yourself.

Garment-on-hanger specialists

Garment precision at every milestone.

Factory-to-distribution hanging containers that eliminate re-pressing costs and transit creasing. Garments leave the production floor hanging and arrive hanging, then run multi-drop direct to individual stores across Europe.

Everything we do

Nine services. One file, one invoice.

Move the cargo, clear it, store it, insure it and pack it — without handing the shipment to a second company halfway.

Accountability

Direct access.
Zero red tape.

When a vessel faces port delays, or urgent paperwork verification is needed on a weekend, you do not file a ticket with a call centre. You reach operational decision-makers with direct authority.

“We've been using SGL for several years, and they have consistently provided reliable and cost-effective solutions for our international shipments.”
