Defence

Combining our freight office at Bournemouth, and our specialist defence business Redcliffe, Charles Kendall Freight offers a dedicated team of expert specialists, trained and experienced in transporting ordnance, firearms, ammunition, explosives and armoured vehicles.

We have a department dedicated to providing expert Customs and DTI knowledge, and are one of the few freight businesses to be Section 5 approved by the UK Home Office. We also specialise in part and full vessel charters, as most military cargo is too hazardous to travel in conventional ocean vessels.

Redcliffe, our military specialist business, can also provide qualified ADR drivers, specialist vehicles and trailers, and round-the-clock storage for all hazardous classes, including section 5 authority and explosives. Redcliffe is also a registered firearms dealer.
