Defence
For almost 50 years, Van der Vlist has been supporting armed forces, defence suppliers and manufacturers with specialist logistics solutions for new and used military equipment. Thanks to our own resources, international expertise and in-depth knowledge of the defence sector, we are a reliable partner for both individual shipments and large-scale defence projects.
Specialist in Defence Transport
Van der Vlist provides transport services for a wide range of defence equipment, including tanks, armoured vehicles, support vehicles and helicopters. We also organise multimodal transport of historic military equipment and military heritage vehicles for museums, collectors, veterans, freight forwarders and traders.
With our own fleet, specialised trailers, and strategically located terminals and storage facilities, we offer complete logistics solutions throughout Europe and beyond. Our experienced and security-screened drivers and project coordinators possess in-depth knowledge of defence-related procedures, regulations and safety requirements.
Where project-specific challenges require it, we work closely with our engineering department and the armed forces to develop bespoke solutions for the transport, handling and support of specialised equipment.
From Planning to Deployment
Whether it involves the relocation of a single vehicle or a large-scale strategic operation, we manage the entire logistics process from start to finish. Depending on project requirements, we combine road, sea, rail and air transport to deliver the most efficient solution.
Thanks to our extensive capacity, operational flexibility and many years of experience within the defence sector, we can respond quickly and deliver complex logistics projects reliably. We meet the highest quality standards, including ABDO and AQAP certifications, and hold permanent permits for a range of frequently used training and exercise locations.
Due to the confidential nature of defence-related operations, we do not publish photographs of our activities.
