Why Dörrenhaus?
Distinguishing container types
There are different types of containers that we use as a freight forwarder for import and export by ship. We not only offer different container sizes, but also consolidated containers. It goes without saying that your cargo is safely stored in each container.
FCL containers
FCL containers (Full Container Load) are containers that are fully packedby a consignor and which are unpacked directly at the recipient's premises.
The entire container load can be assigned to one consignorso that the delivery is not assembled and can therefore be carried out in one go. This increases economic productivity and reduces handling times.
LCL containers
LCL containers (less than container load) are containers that transport several goods from different consignors from different senders .
This requires the container to be packed and unpacked directly at the harbour. Benefit from our expertise and commitment and leave both the packaging and delivery of your goods in expert hands.
