About Dublin
Dublin is the shortest crossing on our books, frequently loaded one day and discharged the next. It handles the majority of Irish container traffic and sits close enough to the city and the eastern half of the country that inland haulage is a minor part of the total cost. Since the UK left the EU customs union, movements here need full customs formalities despite the short distance.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Dublin — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 1–3 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Ireland lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
