Added flexibility with intermodal shipments

Rhenus combines different flexible routing options using road, rail, short sea and deep sea as well as inland waterways in order to get your shipments from their origin to their destination as fast and efficiently as possible.

Solutions for CIS and Turkey

Intermodal services to Central Asia and other countries give you a complete, secure and sustainable supply chain solution through a single point of contact.

Not being tied to one transport mode, you will benefit from better lead times, more vessles and departures, more space availability and an efficient approach to combining forwarding services with the use of own assets, e.g. container and vehicle fleet.

SHORT SEA SHIPPING

A SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE TO ROAD FREIGHT

Short sea shipping is one of the most recommended and sustainable modes of transport to Central Asia. Today, we provide services:

From Northern and Western Europe via the Baltic ports
From Southern Europe and North Africa via the Black Sea ports
From China and the Far East

DEEP SEA SHIPPING

THE OLDEST AND MOST RELIABLE WAY OF TRANSPORT

Deep sea shipping can offer the most competitive freight rate costs, especially over longer distances. Today, we provide the following solutions to Central Asia:

Port-to-port shipments
Door-to-door and door-to-port shipments (as part of our intermodal solutions)

You can see a big ship in a shipping port.
