A new digital platform, FCLHUB, is set to go live on 1 July 2026, aiming to bring greater connectivity, visibility and efficiency to the UK container transport sector.
Purpose built for container logistics, FCLHUB has been developed to connect shippers with a nationwide network of vetted hauliers through a single, easy to use platform. The launch comes at a time when the industry continues to face pressure from rising costs, operational inefficiencies and increasing demand for more sustainable transport solutions.
FCLHUB is designed to simplify how container movements are sourced, managed and delivered. By creating a central marketplace, the platform enables shippers to access reliable haulage capacity quickly, while providing hauliers with consistent work opportunities to improve vehicle and driver utilisation.
The platform supports the movement of 20ft, 40ft and 45ft containers and includes access to specialist equipment such as self-loading container vehicles, allowing containers to be safely lifted to ground level without the need for additional infrastructure.
A key focus of FCLHUB is improving operational efficiency across the supply chain. By reducing empty running, increasing backhaul opportunities and streamlining job allocation, the platform aims to lower overall transport costs while supporting more sustainable logistics practices.
FCLHUB will also help bring together lower carbon transport options in one place, including hauliers operating on alternative fuels such as HVO, as well as electric HGV capability as the market continues to develop. This gives shippers greater visibility of more sustainable container transport options while helping hauliers showcase investment in cleaner fleet solutions.
Commenting on the launch, Matthew Deer, Founder of FCLHUB, said:
“Container transport remains one of the most fragmented parts of the supply chain. FCLHUB has been built to bring structure, visibility and consistency to the market.
“Our goal is simple to connect shippers and hauliers in a way that improves utilisation, reduces inefficiencies and creates a stronger, more reliable network for the industry.
“Just as importantly, FCLHUB gives the sector a platform to bring together new transport solutions, from HVO and electric vehicles to specialist container equipment, helping customers make better informed decisions as the industry moves toward lower carbon logistics.”
FCLHUB is now open for early registration ahead of its official launch, with shippers, freight forwarders and hauliers invited to join the platform and form part of the initial network.
