In sea freight logistics, Dörrenhaus combines knowledge of the special features of local markets with intensive customer service. With our worldwide network of agents and fixed contracts with the most important shipping companies, we secure capacities at competitive prices.
By first-class service, we naturally also mean seamless support for the follow-up of your Sea freight shipment all the way to the recipient. International shipments require a lot of bureaucratic work. Which import regulations must be observed, which papers must be completed and what packaging regulations does the destination country have, e.g. Bangladesh, Chile or Brazil? These are questions to which we have an answer. That's why you are always safely on course with our sea freight services. We also consistently follow the latest developments. For example, you can find out more from us about the option of train loading from Zhengzhou or Chongqing to Hamburg and Duisburg - as a fast alternative to the Ocean Freight and as a cost-effective alternative to air freight, with transit times of 15-17 days from terminal to terminal.
Our employees dispatch more than 20,000 containers annually worldwide, with a focus on the Asia-Europe trade route. For each shipment, our employees look for the right equipment and the best possible route for your goods.
With our own collection containers from Asia to Velbert and Hamburg we achieve the perfect combination of speed, effectiveness and sustainability. The consolidated containers are booked on the fastest departures and are routed from Asia to our warehouse in Velbert and Hamburg. Here we unload the goods at our own warehouse and deliver your goods after customs clearance with our own vehicle fleet.
This high level of in-house performance guarantees high quality and extremely short running times. We are also happy to advise you on how to organise your logistics more efficiently. For example, through so-called buyer consolidations.
Deliveries from several of your suppliers are collected by us in China and then consolidated into an FCL container for you. Overhangs can be loaded into our weekly collectors at any time so that there are no delays. Put us to the test!
