Smooth port logistics are essential for the efficient movement of freight on Europe’s waterways. From transshipment to pre-carriage, on-carriage and customs clearance, a wide range of services ensure goods move seamlessly from origin to destination.
From ship to road or rail, ports along the coasts and on Europe’s waterways serve as hubs for multimodal transshipment. The infrastructure and superstructure at our marine and inland terminals ensure smooth supply chain operations. Cranes and conveyor systems enable fast and careful management of freight for port logistics. No matter how your items are transported, multimodal handling combines the right transport modes to provide the most efficient solution.
Your cargo is scanned during transshipment, both on arrival and departure. Any irregularities or damage are documented with photos to provide clear proof. With EDI interfaces, data is exchanged electronically and automatically, keeping you informed at all times with high data quality and efficiency. When loading for road transport, trucks are automatically weighed on calibrated and verified scales. This saves time during operations while error-free license plate registration enables the automatic generation of the weighing slip.


Port logistics covers a wide range of services for storage and cargo management. Inland and seaport locations give you the option to store goods in open and covered terminal areas for all bulk and general cargo. This cost-effective solution ensures smooth, immediate onward transportation by multiple modes of transport. For added security, our warehouses comply with the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code), protecting your cargo even in open storage.
Indoor warehouses are well suited for goods that are sensitive, high value or dangerous as they safeguard against external influences. Along with storage, Rhenus offers additional services such as palletizing, packaging, order picking and sorting. Selected warehouses are also equipped with temperature monitoring and humidity control to support temperature-controlled storage.
