Eurotrans

Eurotrans is a freight forwarder and removals firm based on Naxxar Road in Birkirkara. It specialises in moving two kinds of goods to and from Malta: commercial cargo for businesses, and the personal effects of people changing country. Moves run by air, sea and road, and the firm works on a total service philosophy, following the flow of goods from origin to destination.

The business is listed in our directory of courier and freight companies in Malta. This page sets out what Eurotrans does and how to ask about a job.

Air, sea and road freight

Freight forwarding means arranging the transport of goods across borders on behalf of a customer, choosing carriers and managing the paperwork. Eurotrans offers this by air, sea and road, and its strong global network lets it serve customers' interests across many routes. It has good ongoing relationships with national and international airlines and shipping lines, which is what makes it a dependable forwarding agent.

The firm's stated aims are reliability, competitive rates and superior quality of service, with the goal of delivering cargo efficiently and securely. For businesses importing or exporting goods, the useful links on its website include a world customs portal and a chart of sea container sizes.

Its gallery shows containers and boats on trailers, which gives a feel for the range of loads. Anyone planning to ship a boat, see our Three Cities guide for marina areas, though ask the company what it can carry.

Home moves and international removals

The home move service is aimed at people relocating their household. The website has separate pages for moving to Europe, the UK, Canada, Australia and the USA, and a home move quote request form. If you are returning to the UK or arriving from it, our Malta relocation guide explains the wider picture, and our Malta tax guide for UK nationals covers what to consider financially.

Photographs from its gallery show crews in orange shirts wrapping furniture, dismantling beds, carrying boxes and hoisting items with a ladder lift outside traditional Maltese houses, a common sight in the narrow village streets. If you are choosing where to live, our where to stay in Malta page and Gozo guide help you compare areas.

Remote professionals who move often will also find the digital nomad guide relevant, since a small shipment of belongings is a typical part of a longer stay.

Who uses Eurotrans

The customer base falls into two groups. Businesses use the firm to move commercial cargo, from pallets and parcels to larger consignments by container, and private individuals use it for personal effects when they move house or send belongings abroad. Having both under one roof is convenient for people who run a company and are also relocating, because one forwarder can handle both the household move and the business goods.

A forwarder is most useful when you want a single contact for a journey that involves several carriers, such as a lorry to the port, a container ship and delivery at the far end. Before you write, it helps to list the items, estimate their volume and decide whether speed or cost matters more, since air freight is usually quicker and sea freight usually cheaper.

UK buyers and residents should also check customs requirements for the route in question, and the firm points visitors to a world customs portal for that purpose. Our about Malta page offers general background on the islands.
