About

Our freight offices in Penzance and St Mary’s handle freight between the mainland and the Isles of Scilly. With a hundred year heritage, we continue to look to the future, adapting to support projects that will benefit the islands and the islanders. By upgrading our fleet and modernising our service, we aim to deliver more cargo through a simpler, smarter freight service that will work for the benefit of everyone involved.
