JERSEY SEAWEED DISPOSAL

“The Department for Infrastructure commissioned the Normandy Trader to transport collected sea lettuce from St Aubin’s Bay and deposit the material at sea in an approved disposal area for the Summer season. The service provided was the simplest and most cost-effective solution compared to their competitors and the vessel proved to be ideal due to its ability to beach and to accept loads directly from the collection points in the bay. Throughout the season the vessels operators were flexible, reliable and willing to react to calls for their services at short notice, prior commitments permitting.”

Martin Gautier, Assistant Director Technical Services, States of Jersey - Department for Infrastructure

BUILDING MATERIAL DELIVERIES FOR BOTH COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS

“We have been using the services of Normandy Trader since March 2007. Throughout this time, they have provided us with an excellent service of shipping building materials from the port of Granville to St Helier quay at competitive prices. They always keep in touch with us to advise us of goods arriving in Granville, loading and shipping times and ETA Jersey quay. They handle our shipments very efficiently and carefully and during this period we have never incurred any damage or loss of goods. We would have no hesitation in recommending Normandy Trader to any potential customers.”

G. S Donaldson, Managing Director Quantum Building Supplies

SHELLFISH DELIVERIES

“The Normandy Trader is a reliable professional freight service we would highly recommend. Their flexible schedule and experience meant we could rely on them always and therefore provide a better service to our own customers.” Aqua Mar

CRANE TRANSPORTATION TO SARK

“The Island of Sark took delivery of a new 20t crane in 2017, which was delivered onto the beach by the Normandy Trader. This difficult operation, which included removal of the old machine, was completed to everyone’s satisfaction, in a very professional manner by the skipper and crew and at a modest price. We would not hesitate to use their services again.”

Jeremy La Trobe-Bateman, Crane Operator.

DIGGER AND MACHINERY DELIVERY TO CLIFF EXCAVATION FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING PROJECT

“The “Normandy Trader” was a great solution to access a remote beach on the North Coast to allow Geomarine to carry out cliff and shore stabilisation.”

FIREWORKS DISPLAYS

Working on the Normandy Trader is an amazing experience ! Having worked with Nathan and the crew many times, it is always a pleasure and furthermore great to be working with like-minded professionals. Dealing with powerful fireworks on a vessel in the rolling seas is not for the faint hearted and keeping the Normandy Trader straight and steady whilst massive shells are leaving the deck at 400metres a second takes great degree of skill !
