Accompanied or unaccompanied?
Choose the operating model before requesting a quotation. Give tractor and driver details where relevant, or the trailer or container identity and traction responsibility for each side.

Freight to and from
Calais.
A driver-accompanied vehicle and an unaccompanied trailer do not share the same handover. State which unit is crossing, who books the maritime leg and who takes responsibility on each side, so the enquiry covers the real movement rather than only the port.
Every enquiry is assessed for route, cargo and partner suitability before quotation or booking.
A CLEARER STARTING POINT
Calais. Plan the crossing and the road legs together.
The Port of Boulogne Calais describes cross-Channel freight and intermodal services for accompanied and unaccompanied flows, connecting road, rail and sea. Its current operational information is useful to the party arranging a crossing, but it does not replace shipment-specific carrier instructions, border documents or a confirmed Freivio transport plan.

BUILD A BETTER ENQUIRY
Three decisions before you move.
02
Who arranges the crossing and documents?
State whether the maritime booking is already made and identify the party responsible for border, safety and cargo documents. Do not assume the road carrier is completing every formality.
03
Where do the road legs begin and end?
Provide the real collection and delivery addresses, not only Calais and Dover. Include ready and delivery windows plus any drop, swap or trailer-return instruction.
READY WHEN THE DETAILS ARE
Give your cargo a clear way forward.
Whether your cargo starts here or arrives here, a complete brief helps the operations desk assess the right scope.

Calais freight questions.
Can I request an unaccompanied trailer movement through Calais?
Yes. Identify the unit and specify who delivers it, books the crossing and collects it on the other side. Each leg and handover is assessed before confirmation.
Does Freivio complete customs or border documentation automatically?
No such blanket service is promised. State what documentation is already arranged and which party is responsible; any required support must be agreed explicitly.
Is the ferry crossing the full transport service?
No. The enquiry should include the collection, port delivery, crossing responsibility, destination-port collection and final delivery that you actually need arranged.
