Simplifying border crossings between EU and UK
Following several months of testing with Eurotunnel's Le Shuttle Freight and "unaccompanied trailers" customers, Getlink is planning to launch Sherpass in autumn this year. The services platform allows to simplify border crossings for freight and the supply chain. The new portfolio will be open to road hauliers and logistics providers from October 2023.
Working with selected partners, Sherpass offers customs and border services as a natural extension to the Eurotunnel Border Pass, which has already been adopted by more than one in two of Eurotunnel’s customers.
The re-establishment of the border between UK and Europe has forced shippers and carriers to manage a large volume of formalities, requiring time, additional resources, and the involvement of multiple subcontractors.
Sherpass provides a turnkey, one-stop solution that saves hauliers a significant amount of time by eliminating the need to enter information and the multiple interactions involved in managing documentation, Getlink said.
By centralising all the data flows required for cross-border exchanges, Sherpass offers an integrated end-to-end service in a single, simple, and secure working environment.
