In an ever-changing world, disaster and conflict can arise
in the blink of an eye.We work closely with the leading
deployment agencies to ensure that humanitarian aid,
famine relief and military equipment and supplies get to
those who need them quickly and efficiently.
We are experienced in moving humanitarian and military
cargoes to areas of conflict, from Afghanistan and Syria
to Southern Sudan and Iraq. We are able to ensure that
in these operations, our professionalism, reliability and
confidence is trusted by all concerned, as we partner
clients who are used to working in challenging
environments.
In these scenarios, time is of the essence. Lives depend
on receiving cargo promptly - there is no second chance
to get it right. We work with organisations and
government agencies whose reputations for reacting to
any crisis with speed and accuracy are on the line, and
we have to be able to respond accordingly. Our expertise
in this area has grown considerably in recent years and
this is due to a committed team of people who work
with the same ethos as our customers.
oiLAnd gAS
Oil and gas are important natural resources and the
world’s increasing need for energy solutions has meant
that drilling operations have become more important in
recent years.The ability to ship parts to challenging and
remote locations is undertaken through often complex
yet integrated supply chains, ensuring that the items
required arrive safely and on time.
The oil and gas sector, more than any other, requires
innovative thinking and a guaranteed delivery and we are
proud that this has become an area in which dap UK
excels. It is a truly unique and highly specialised sector,
with freight often requiring a combination of road,ocean
and air shipment. Since client operations will stop until
equipment arrives, delivery timings are particularly

5. critical, as any delay is likely to be prohibitively expensive
for all concerned.
As a fully accredited supplier member of Achilles FPAL,
our dedicated team offers peace of mind freight
forwarding for the oil and gas industry.
Whether it be large equipment for use offshore in the
Gulf of Mexico or pipes and products for an onshore
depot in the Middle East, our best method, best route,
best rate promise, combined with our experience and
understanding, gives clients the security they need when
a planned project has timescales that require deliveries
to be in the right place at the right time.
cUStoM cLEArAncEAndWArEhoUSing
Our customs clearance service is designed with you in
mind, to ensure costs are kept to a minimum while we
make sense of the ever-changing rules and regulations.
Every day we clear and deliver cargo from a wide range
of market sectors, providing guidance and advice along
the way.
Importing cargo brings with it a heady mix of rules and
regulations. Not only that, but you also have to find an
agent who can help you through the maze of declarations
regarding duties, levies andVAT charges.
Secure warehousing facilities
We have long and successful relationships with major UK
retail outlets, so consequently, the vast majority of
products we handle are imported from Asia, the Indian
sub-continent and the USA. This has led dap UK to
provide secure warehousing facilities and services for
clients who require additional support such as:
• Fully computerised stock control
• Pick and pack, re-labelling and weighting facilities
• Long-term contract rates
• Complete UK part load and full load distribution by a
dedicated fleet of vehicles from small vans to 44 tonne
gross curtain-sided vehicles
