zero-emission road transport
Maritime ZERO is our zero-emission road transport division, operating eHGVs across live UK operations and integrated with our wider road and rail network to significantly reduce emissions from full-load transport.
A road, rail, and terminal fleet driving integrated logistics operations across the UK.

We have invested significantly in modern vehicles, trailers and equipment to ensure our fleet remains efficient, compliant and fit for purpose. All HGVs operate to Euro 6 standards, with an average vehicle age of under three years. Sourced from leading manufacturers, each vehicle is equipped with advanced telematics and routing systems, providing real-time visibility and performance monitoring. Alongside diesel vehicles, HVO fuel capability is available via depot-based dispensers, with eHGVs operating from selected sites supported by high-powered charging infrastructure. Our trailer fleet comprises 4,400+ units across a broad mix of skeletal, curtainsider, tipper, genset and other specialist configurations. This breadth of equipment supports consistent service across containerised, curtainsided, temperature-controlled and specialist movements, even during peak demand.

Maritime ZERO is our zero-emission road transport division, operating eHGVs across live UK operations and integrated with our wider road and rail network to significantly reduce emissions from full-load transport.

We recognise the responsibility that comes with operating a national logistics network. Guided by a long-term view and strong core values, we work closely with customers, partners, and industry bodies to address the environmental challenges facing the logistics sector and prepare for the changes that will shape our operations in the years to come.

We will respond as soon as possible.
Our fleet is nationally deployed and designed to support road, rail, and terminal operations as a single,
integrated logistics network across the UK.

With more than 1,400 HGVs, 4,400+ trailers, and over 120 terminal machines, our fleet provides the capacity, flexibility, and resilience required to manage high volumes, peak demands, and time-critical nationwide logistics activity.
Our fleet operates to Euro 6 standards and is sourced from leading manufacturers, with modern specifications and technology supporting safe, efficient, and compliant transport operations.
A broad mix of specialist trailers ensures the correct equipment is used for containerised, curtainsided, temperature-controlled, and specialist freight movements.
Our fleet operations meet DVS, PSS, and LEZ requirements and include authorised ADR capability, supported by trained drivers and in-house Dangerous Goods Safety Advisers.
Advanced telematics and transport management systems provide live tracking, performance monitoring, and proof of delivery, offering clear visibility from first to final mile.
Alongside Euro 6 vehicles, our fleet includes eHGVs operating from selected sites and HVO fuel capability via depot-based dispensers, supporting emissions reduction across everyday operations.
Maintenance, compliance, and insurance are handled by our 24/7 in-house fleet team, reducing downtime and maintaining availability across vehicles, trailers, and equipment.
Continued investment in vehicles, equipment, and infrastructure ensures our fleet remains modern, reliable, and ready to meet evolving customer and regulatory requirements.
For longer-distance movements, rail freight reduces road mileage and emissions, with over 50 daily services linking major UK ports with our inland rail terminals. At these locations, terminal handling equipment – including reach stackers, gantry cranes, straddle carriers, and empty container handlers – enables efficient transfer between road, rail, and storage, supporting fast turnrounds.
Fleet upkeep and performance are overseen by our dedicated in-house fleet department responsible for 24/7 maintenance, inspection, and renewal.
With 42 locations across the UK, we’re uniquely placed to provide nationwide coverage wherever your cargo needs to go.
Maritime operates one of the UK’s largest logistics fleets, bringing together fuel-efficient and electric HGVs, specialist trailers, and high-capacity terminal handling equipment into a single, integrated operation to accommodate a wide range of transport requirements at true national scale. With more than 1,400 HGVs, over 4,400 trailers, and 120+ terminal machines deployed across 40+ locations, our fleet provides the capacity, flexibility, and resilience required to complete thousands of container transport, curtainsided distribution, and rail-connected movements every day.
No. All Maritime drivers are directly employed and operate our vehicles and equipment. When extra capacity is required, we work with approved subcontractors operating Maritime equipment under the same compliance standards.
Yes. We are authorised to handle ADR consignments, supported by trained drivers and in-house Dangerous Goods Safety Advisers (DGSAs) who oversee compliance with all applicable safety and transport regulations.
Cargo moved by our fleet is covered by Goods in Transit (GIT) insurance, arranged in line with recognised industry conditions and applicable transport regulations. Our operations are also covered by comprehensive motor, public liability, and employers’ liability insurance. Cover limits and any enhanced requirements are agreed contractually based on the nature of the cargo and service provided.
Yes. Our fleet includes units specified with tail lifts and other specialist features for delivery locations where fixed loading bays or on-site handling equipment are not available.
Safety and compliance are maintained through structured training, in-house oversight, and continuous monitoring across our fleet. All drivers complete training aligned with DCPC requirements through our in-house driver development programme, delivered by more than 30 qualified driver trainers across our network. This approach contributes to consistently strong OCRS performance across Roadworthiness and Traffic. Additionally, driver performance is monitored using vehicle telematics, which track key indicators such as braking, acceleration, and fuel efficiency. This data is used to provide targeted coaching and is also linked to our long-running safety bonus scheme that rewards safe, compliant driving.
Container movements across our terminals are planned in advance using our in-house Container Booking System, used by both Maritime and third-party hauliers to book and validate collections and deliveries before arrival. This gives our terminal teams clear visibility of upcoming activity, allowing containers to be positioned and lifting planned ahead of time. This is matched by investment in advanced terminal handling equipment including reach stackers, gantry cranes, straddle carriers and empty container handlers, used across our rail terminals and container depots. Together, this reduces unnecessary lifts, smooths traffic flow on site, and delivers consistently fast turnrounds across our network.
