KLN Logistics Group Limited has introduced a new road feeder service linking Europe with the Middle East, offering shippers a balanced alternative between the speed of air freight and the cost-efficiency of ocean transport.
Spanning approximately 10,500 kilometres, the corridor delivers door-to-door transit times ranging from 15 to 25 days. The service connects key European origins with major Middle Eastern markets, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, and Egypt.
KLN oversees the entire logistics chain under a single contract, managing collection in Europe through to final delivery in the Middle East. The end-to-end solution includes customs compliance, permits, border coordination, and customs-escorted movements where required, ensuring a streamlined and controlled transport process.
The service accommodates non-stackable palletised cargo of up to 23 tonnes per truck, including dangerous goods. Shipments must be accompanied by complete original documentation at origin, with cargo insurance arranged by the shipper.
Martin Stoekenbroek, Managing Director, EMEA at KLN, said: “This service provides customers with a practical alternative to ocean and air freight at a time when direct access into the region remains complex.
“It allows businesses to maintain trade flows to consignees across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) while reducing dependence on a single transport mode, particularly for dangerous goods requiring a reliable overland solution.”
Darren Baker, Chief Operations Officer, EMEA at KLN, added: “Transporting dangerous goods across multiple borders demands precise coordination of documentation, permits, customs procedures, and local regulations.
“Our new service delivers a structured, end-to-end solution that supports the consistent and reliable movement of cargo into the region, even amid ongoing access challenges.”
