Malta is not directly accessible by road, so your shipment travels overland through Europe to a port in Italy (typically Catania or Syracuse), where it is transferred onto a ferry to Malta. LoadXL coordinates this entire process, including the sea crossing, so you have a single point of contact from the Netherlands to the final destination on the island.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does road transport to Malta actually work, considering that Malta is an island?
What is the difference between FTL and groupage for a shipment to Malta?
With FTL (Full Truck Load), you book an entire truck for your cargo, which travels directly without intermediate stops — the fastest option for large volumes. With groupage (LTL), your shipment is consolidated with goods from other clients heading in the same direction. This reduces your costs significantly, though the transit time is longer at approximately 8 working days. LoadXL can advise you on which option suits your shipment best.
