Speed Logistics runs dedicated direct transports between Germany and Greece – we reach Athens, Thessaloniki and Patras in 3 to 5 working days. As intra-EU traffic your shipment runs without customs formalities, from the sprinter van for urgent spare parts to the full truckload in the 40-t articulated truck.
You tell us the collection point, dimensions and deadline – we deliver a fixed-price quote within a few hours and dispatch the collection. Our dispatch team is reachable around the clock and accompanies the roughly 2,200-kilometre lane with GPS tracking and dedicated contacts.

Route: Adriatic ferry or land route through the Balkans
The classic main leg runs through Italy to the Adriatic ferry – such as Brindisi or Bari to Igoumenitsa or Patras respectively. The ferry crossing conserves driving times and makes the lead time easy to plan: 3 to 5 working days to delivery. For Thessaloniki and northern Greece, the land route through the Balkans is often the faster choice as an alternative. Our dispatch team chooses the most economical corridor depending on destination region, deadline and ferry availability – and books the ferry places early, which is decisive in the summer season.
Industries: food, shipping, tourism
On the Greece lane we move machinery and plant parts for industry and shipping, hotel equipment for the tourism sector as well as temperature-controlled food in both directions. For the shipping and shipyard locations around Piraeus we dispatch urgent ship spare parts as a direct run or air freight pre-carriage. Just-in-time deliveries for manufacturing operations we run with fixed time windows and status updates.
Delivery all the way to the islands
Besides Athens, Thessaloniki and Patras, on request we deliver to any address in Greece – including the islands via ferry loading from Piraeus or regional ports. Allow one to two additional working days for this depending on the ferry schedule. You receive continuous live tracking, a proof of receipt after delivery and a dedicated contact who steers collection, ferry and delivery from a single source.
Vehicles and equipment for Greece services
We deploy the right vehicle: sprinter vans for urgent ship spare parts, 7.5- and 12-tonne trucks for part loads, articulated trucks with curtain-sider or box for full loads, as well as refrigerated vehicles with documented temperature control for food and pharmaceuticals. We also arrange a tail lift or piggyback forklift for unloading points without a ramp – often decisive at hotels, construction sites and catering businesses on the coast.
Planning and seasonality
In the summer season, ferry places on the Adriatic are scarce and cargo space towards Greece is in demand. Those who plan recurring services early secure stable conditions: for regular customers we set up fixed departure days, book ferry capacity in advance and keep reserves for short-notice additional shipments. Return loads from Greece – such as food or goods from the processing industry – we dispatch as a round trip, thereby improving your freight costs in both directions.
