Northern ports

As a specialized provider of container logistics, we reliably connect the most important German seaports — Hamburg, Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven — with key economic regions in Germany and Europe.

Our team is close to the ports and closely connected with terminals, operators and partners. We take care of transport, storage, loading and unloading, container transfers, coordination with customs, veterinary and phytosanitary authorities, as well as individual requirements relating to your import and export containers.
You define the destination and framework conditions – we ensure that your containers arrive safely, efficiently and on time.

Our Services Around Bremerhaven, Hamburg and Wilhelmshaven

Via the seaports of Hamburg, Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven, we organize reliable container transport for import and export. Whether your containers need to be distributed from overseas across Germany or Europe, or export cargo needs to reach the Northern ports on schedule – we connect ports, hinterland and economic regions into well-planned transport chains.

To achieve this, we combine rail, truck and inland waterway transport into efficient processes and create reliable solutions for your supply chain. Instead of standardized transport services, we focus on tailor-made concepts: non-stop freight trains, overnight connections, direct truck services and transfers between the Northern and Western ports work seamlessly together. This turns complex port and hinterland transport into a transparent and reliable process – from port to hinterland, from hinterland to port or directly door-to-door.
