Testing for hauliers travelling by ferry to the Netherlands

18 January 2021/Categories: CILT, Industry News, Freight Forwarding, Logistics & Supply Chain, Ports, Maritime & Waterways, Coronavirus


From 00.01 Tuesday 19th January, all hauliers travelling from the UK to the Netherlands by ferry will be required to show evidence of a negative lateral flow test obtained within 24 hours of boarding a service departing for a Dutch port.

As part of the government's support to hauliers and to ensure goods and people can continue to flow, free testing is already available at 35 Information & Advice sites across the country, where hauliers can also get support with documentation requirements. Alternatively, hauliers can get an authorised negative COVID test from a private testing facility and firms may have their own arrangements.

Hauliers travelling to all ports are able to use these I&A sites, including those making onward journeys to the Netherlands. To avoid delays, drivers and crew of HGVs, and drivers of LGVs and vans must get tested before they arrive at their port of departure.
