  • From Aberdeen to the World: How Streamline Shipping Group Stays Rooted in Community

When it comes to Aberdeen haulage and reliable shipping services, we at Streamline Shipping know what it takes to combine local heritage with global reach. Founded in Aberdeen, Scotland, we’ve grown into a trusted shipping company over the last few decades, serving businesses across the UK and internationally. We deliver everything from pallets to complex project cargo – but even as we expand around the world, we remain rooted in the Aberdeen community, supporting local initiatives and events that help make our city thrive.

A History Anchored in Aberdeen

Streamline Shipping Group’s story began in 1981 in Aberdeen. From our early days transporting goods between Scotland and Norway, we quickly earned a reputation for reliability, professionalism and deep local knowledge. Over the years, Streamline expanded its reach across the UK and Europe, establishing a nationwide network that now offers logistics solutions for a wide range of industries.

Aberdeen isn’t just where the company started – did you know that it remains our headquarters, reflecting our commitment to our roots? Today, the Head Office at Blaikies Quay serves as a central hub for sales, operations, finance and customer service, coordinating activities across the UK and beyond.

Logistics and Haulage with Local Heart

Our operations in Aberdeen go beyond administration, though. Our Aberdeen Freight Terminal, located at Palmerston Quay, plays a vital role in connecting local businesses to national and international markets. From cargo handling, warehousing and palletised local deliveries to UK transport, haulage and international freight forwarding, this local hub provides seamless Aberdeen haulage and transport solutions.

By operating from Aberdeen, Streamline Shipping leverages the city’s strategic position on the North Sea, offering clients efficient access to ports and transport links throughout the UK and Europe. This local expertise allows us to provide reliable and timely Aberdeen logistics solutions, supporting a wide variety of sectors including retail, energy, marine, healthcare, defence and aquaculture.

Investing Back in the Aberdeen Community

At Streamline, we remain proud of our strong ties to Aberdeen and demonstrate this through active community engagement. Our aim is to invest in initiatives that strengthen Aberdeen’s social and economic fabric, as well as supporting local clubs and charities throughout the city. For us, success isn’t just about the shipments we deliver – it’s also about the positive impact we can have in the community that has been our home for over 40 years.
