DFDS Hull–Rotterdam and P&O Hull–Zeebrugge — daily handling
DFDS Ferry Hull–Rotterdam is a daily ferry connection (12-hour crossing), especially popular with Polish HGVs travelling via the Netherlands. P&O Ferries Hull–Zeebrugge — an overnight ferry, the main route for Polish forwarders serving Belgium and Germany. Hull is one of the most important ports for Polish-British logistics routes — the Hull–Warsaw distance via Rotterdam is around 1,500 km (18-20 hours by road).
Easy Clearance generates GMR numbers for both operators. Just send us the MRN of your customs declarations and the lorry's registration number — we'll handle the rest.
