Ocean Freight

In sea freight logistics, Dörrenhaus combines the knowledge of the particularities of local markets with intensive customer care. Thanks to our worldwide network of agents and fixed contracts with the most important ocean carriers, 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. What import regulations need to be observed, what paperwork needs to be completed and what packaging regulations does the destination country have? These are questions to which we have the answers. That's why you are always safely on course with our sea freight services. We also consistently follow the latest developments; for example, 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.

An overview of our sea freight services:

Full Container Load (FCL)

• Flexible selection of ocean carriers
• High departure frequency
• Option to book space and equipment guarantees additionally
• More than 30 offices in all major trading centers in Far East

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.

Less Container Load (LCL)

• Shipments from all ports in Far East
• Consolidation containers from main ports directly to our warehouse in Velbert and Hamburg
• Fast transit times due to prime carriers
• IT-based control of the entire transport chain

With our own consolidated containers from Asia to Velbert and Hamburg, we achieve the perfect combination of speed, efficiency 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 fleet of vehicles. This high level of in-house performance guarantees high quality and extremely short transit times.

We are also happy to advise you on how to organise your logistics more efficiently, for example through so-called buyer consolidations. Here, we collect deliveries from several of your suppliers in China and then consolidate them into one 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!
