Rail

When choosing the right means of transport, transit time and costs play a major role. Because air freight is often too expensive and sea freight too slow, the need for intermediate solutions has grown. Rail freight is the perfect middle ground between air and sea freight. While the transport from China to Europe was still a risk 10 years ago, the infrastructure is now growing from year to year and new solutions are constantly being added. Together with our offices in Asia, we look for the right solution for your needs with a full service from the factory to you.

The pure transit for example from Shanghai to Duisburg or Hamburg takes around 18-20 days, making it around two weeks faster than sea freight and significantly cheaper than air freight. Transport by train is also a way of significantly improving your carbon footprint, as up to 90 % fewer CO2 emissions are emitted compared to air freight.

Regardless of whether you have general cargo or full containers to ship, we offer you reliable services at competitive rates.

Dörrenhaus Consolidated Container

If your goods and orders do not fill a full container, we can provide you with our own consolidated containers, which are routed to our warehouse locations in Velbert and Hamburg, for additional loading. This service operates with several containers a week from North and South China, which allows us to load your goods at short notice and at low cost. The containers arrive in Duisburg or Hamburg and are transported from there to our warehouse by truck. After unloading and customs clearance by our staff, we can store your goods or deliver them directly afterwards with our own fleet of trucks.
