Factory to Field – The Yes2Ship Method - Meet Us @ Stand B52b
Yes2Ship is a British project logistics partner with proven heavy-lift and out-of-gauge capability. Historically, we have been out-of-gauge handlers via airfreight – shipping items such as multi-million-pound aircraft engines, rescue helicopters and being the project liaisons for field hospitals in rural Africa. Therefore, solar was the next logical step…
Our solar journey starting in May 2020, when the Secretary of State granted the Cleve Hill Solar Park Development Consent Order, Yes2Ship moved high-value assets for the site - from BESS units, inverters and transformers to smaller courier items such as testing equipment for some of the most prestigious solar asset management firms behind the UKs first solar project at Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project Scale. The ongoing relationship with flagship firms such as Metlen Energy & Metals (Mytilineos), Metka, Sustainable Bright and Gresham House keeps Yes 2 Ship at the forefront of solar innovation within infrastructure-level projects in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. This depth and breadth of delivery is what allows us to be a comprehensive solution for small, medium and large energy enterprises looking for a turn-key logistics solution for solar and energy projects.
Too often the reality for stakeholders in the energy projects industry is that costs creep as cargo dwells; POs and ETAs slip without phase-aligned call-offs; customs/T1 mis-steps stall flow; BESS is handled as “standard freight”, which creates ADR risk; sites lack off-quay buffers and local yards so cranes sit idle; and no one owns the whole programme end-to-end.
Our answer is one accountable partner across the full life cycle:
Feasibility → Procurement → Shipping → Customs → Storage Phasing → UK Haulage → Installation & Commissioning Preparation → Maintenance/Operations Transport & Spares Support.
We participate in all stages of a project lifecycle with UK bank-backed financing for large moves, with our 100/100 credit rating score on Experian, providing long-term financial security. The ability to lock container capacity from origins, including China, Turkey and the EU; and clear at all major UK ports (air/road/sea). We manage VAT/EORI and provide right-first-time T1s (supported by our own £100,000 government-backed transit bond). Call-offs are aligned to build phases, underpinned by ~500-container off-quay capacity (Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, Grangemouth), de-vanning for acceptance-ready loads, and rural yards within one hour of sites for timed deliveries (enabled through our rural farm storage scheme – helping us win the hearts and minds of all stakeholders involved), returns and cross-site transports. For haulage and install support, we can provide heavy-lift to 500 tonnes, traffic plans and ADR/DGSA leadership for complex movements, with one of the UKs largest independent dangerous goods teams – enabling comprehensive solutions, especially needed in BESS container unit transport. For operations, our central spares hub near Heathrow handles pick/pack, with IATA and UK domestic networks supporting overnight shipping for just-in-time and emergency maintenance, without the hassle of third-party warehousing.
Three main benefits of partnering with Yes2Ship
With our 10-year membership of BIFA, we have clear T&Cs that are the industry gold standard for clarity in movement conditions. Yes2Ship is one of the key players in helping achieve the UK policy of targeting energy capacity by 2035, re-affirmed in the British Energy Security Strategy and the Solar Taskforce Roadmap.
