Regulatory News:
Following several months of testing with Eurotunnel’s LeShuttle Freight and “Unaccompanied Trailers” customers, Getlink (Paris:GET) is unveiling Sherpass, its platform of services to simplify border crossings for freight and the supply chain. This new range of advanced services will be open to road hauliers and logistics providers from October 2023.
A digital platform, Sherpass optimises flows for hauliers, freight forwarders and shippers and improves the fluidity of supply chains between France and the UK.
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 Eurotunnel customers.
The re-establishment of the border between the United Kingdom 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. By centralising all the data flows required for cross-border exchanges, Sherpass offers an integrated end-to-end service in a single, simple and totally secure working environment.
The solution enables the various players in the supply chain to streamline all the procedures involved in crossing the border and covers their expectations right through to the customs declaration and clearance services.
Yann Leriche, Chief Executive of Getlink, said: “Getlink has been operating on both sides of the Channel for 30 years and is a vital link in the European supply chain. Our innovative and straightforward services position us as the main gateway for goods transiting between the UK and Europe via the short straits. With Sherpass, we are continuing our strategy of creating value by capitalising on our smart border expertise.”
