Freight forwarder in Ravenna: road freight from the UK to the Adriatic coast
Ravenna combines one of the key ports on the Adriatic with a strong chemical, energy and agri-food industry, and a freight forwarder in Ravenna has to serve all of these sectors. DAGO Express carries your goods from the UK to Ravenna as one uninterrupted journey. The consignment is loaded at your site and delivered at the destination by the same vehicle. Because there is no transhipment on the way, the risk of damage is lower, and there is no waiting for a groupage load to fill up before the journey begins.
Collection is generally arranged 60 to 120 minutes after the order, and fixed loading times can be booked as well. With a documented punctuality of 99.5 %, your recipient can plan the unloading precisely.
Freight to and from Ravenna
We move machinery, chemicals under ADR rules, building materials, components for the energy sector, food processing equipment, furniture and packaging. In the opposite direction, producers in Romagna ship fruit products, wine, chemicals and machinery to customers in Great Britain. The same connection serves importers and exporters alike, from a single pallet delivery to a full articulated load.

Logistics in Ravenna: a port city with an industrial backbone
Ravenna has around 155,000 inhabitants and is famous worldwide for its early Christian mosaics, which are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its economic heart, however, is the port along the Candiano canal. It is one of the main Adriatic ports for dry bulk and handles large volumes of clay and other raw materials for the ceramic tile industry around Sassuolo, as well as fertilisers, grain, steel products and containers.
Around the port, chemical and petrochemical plants have been operating for decades, and the natural gas fields off the coast have given rise to an energy services sector with engineering firms and suppliers of offshore equipment. That industrial mix creates regular demand for the haulage of machinery, spare parts and dangerous goods.
Inland, the Romagna countryside is one of the most important fruit-growing areas in Italy, with orchards, packing houses and food processors spread across the plain. Faenza, a short drive to the south-west, has given its name to faience and still has a lively ceramics scene. Beach resorts such as Marina di Ravenna and Cervia add hospitality businesses that need steady supplies during the season.
The route from the UK to Ravenna
Your consignment leaves the UK on the Dover–Calais ferry or on Le Shuttle from Folkestone to Coquelles. Through France, the Mont Blanc or Fréjus Tunnel leads into northern Italy, and the A1 brings the vehicle to Bologna. There it switches to the A14 towards Rimini, and a spur of the A14 branches off to the coast and ends at Ravenna. From Germany and Austria, the Brenner Pass and the A22 offer a second corridor that meets the A1 near Modena.
When a load combines stops in the Veneto and Romagna, the coastal SS309 Romea connects Mestre with Ravenna along the lagoon and the Po delta. From Umbria and Tuscany, the E45 is another approach. Weekend and holiday driving bans for heavy lorries in Italy are always part of the schedule.
Customs between the UK and Italy
Because Italy is in the EU customs union, goods from Great Britain need a UK export declaration and an EU import declaration, and the companies on both sides must have valid EORI numbers. Dangerous goods also need the correct transport documents. The GVMS system links the declarations to the vehicle at the Channel crossing. Please organise these steps with your customs agent before the goods are collected, as DAGO Express does not prepare customs declarations or handle customs clearance.
Collection and delivery in Ravenna and the surrounding area
We deliver to the historic centre, to the port area and terminals along the Candiano canal, to the Bassette industrial zone and to the commercial areas around Fornace Zarattini. The coastal districts of Marina di Ravenna, Punta Marina and Porto Corsini are covered, as is Classe to the south. Nearby towns such as Russi, Bagnacavallo, Lugo, Alfonsine and Cervia belong to the same planning area, and Faenza, Forlì or Cesena can be included as additional stops.
Port terminals and chemical plants often have strict access procedures and slot bookings. Please send us the details when booking so that the driver is registered in advance and the vehicle is not held up at the gate.
Vehicles for Ravenna
Machinery and plant components usually travel on a 7.2 LDM lorry with 18 pallets and up to 5,000 kg or, for complete loads, on a 13.6 LDM articulated lorry with 33 pallets and up to 24 tonnes. Smaller spare parts orders fit into a van for four pallets and up to 800 kg. A curtain-sided van carries 8 to 10 pallets and up to 1,200 kg and loads easily from the side, which is useful for an urgent pallet delivery to a site without a loading bay.

Frequently asked questions about freight transport in Ravenna
How many pallets can freight transport in Ravenna carry?
Capacity depends on pallet dimensions, weight and the vehicle. Share the shipment details so we can plan a suitable truck.
Can I request a tail lift for freight transport in Ravenna?
Yes. Tell us if neither the pickup nor delivery site has a loading dock or forklift; we will check the availability of a suitable vehicle.
When should I choose a part load or a full truck load for Ravenna?
That depends on volume, weight and delivery date. A part load shares available space; a full load reserves a vehicle for your freight.
Small and urgent shipment? See courier service in Ravenna
How soon can goods for Ravenna be collected in the UK?
Usually 60 to 120 minutes after booking, a vehicle is ready at your premises. If you prefer a specific time, we can arrange a fixed collection slot instead.
How does the vehicle reach Ravenna from the motorway network?
From Bologna the A14 heads towards Rimini, and a spur of the A14 branches off to Ravenna. Loads combined with the Veneto can also use the coastal SS309 Romea from Mestre.
Can you deliver to terminals in the port of Ravenna?
Yes. Please send us the terminal, the reference number and any slot booking in advance, so that the driver is registered and the access checks at the gate run smoothly.
Do you carry chemicals and other dangerous goods to Ravenna?
Yes, with verified partners who hold an ADR licence. Tell us the UN number, the hazard class and the quantity when you book, and include the transport documents.
Which customs documents are needed for goods to Ravenna?
A UK export declaration, an EU import declaration and EORI numbers for both sides. Your customs agent should prepare them so that GVMS can link them to the vehicle at the Channel.
Can a delivery to Ravenna include a stop in Faenza?
Yes. Faenza, Lugo, Forlì and the other towns in Romagna can be added as further stops. Please list all delivery addresses when you book so that the route can be planned.

For heavy items, we recommend a 7.2 LDM lorry with up to 5,000 kg or an articulated lorry that carries up to 24 tonnes on 33 pallets, depending on size and weight.
