With our free RHEGREEN calculation tool, we can help you reduce the emissions of your air and sea freight shipments. By estimating the amount of greenhouse gases (in terms of CO2 equivalent, CO2e), considering the cargo loads, the potential aircraft or vessel based on emission performance, as well as the routing, you can avoid up to 40 percent of CO₂e emissions. We also support you if you want to switch to sustainable aviation fuels.
Whether your shipments are small, large, light or heavy, we will find the right solution for you in the B2B sector. We can also transport temperature-critical and high-value goods such as pharmaceuticals or high-tech goods. In addition, we have the necessary permits for the storage and transport of hazardous materials and dangerous goods. We do not transport parcels or private goods.
Punctuality and reliability are must-haves. We have many years of expertise in air and sea freight and only work with selected partners and reliable, proven carriers. We ensure on-time delivery with established planning and monitoring concepts.
Our strength lies in developing long-term, efficient transport solutions for companies with regular freight requirements. Thanks to our established partnerships with carriers and major shipping companies, we can scale flexibly upwards. We do not currently offer individual or occasional air or sea shipments – however, we would be happy to discuss with you what a continuous collaboration could look like.
Depending on the desired delivery time, you can choose from a range of options. In addition to our classic air freight products and door-to-door solutions, we offer charter flights and an on-board courier service. For more cost-effective air freight is consolidated at our Frankfurt gateway, including security screening and scanning. You can also choose from a wide range of additional services, such as customs clearance, transport insurance, airport storage and express services.
Apart from LCL and FCL services, Rhenus provides buyer’s and seller’s consolidation as well as short sea shipping, including door-to-door transport. For cost-efficient exports, we consolidate your LCL shipments at our hub in Hilden, serving 60 destinations weekly. Value-added services such as customs brokerage, pre- and on-carriage, cross docking, quality checks, tracking and insurance complete our portfolio.
The choice depends on your business needs. Air freight is ideal for urgent or time-critical shipments requiring fast delivery, while sea freight is better suited for larger volumes over longer distances due to its cost-efficiency. Unsure which mode of transport is best for you? Contact us – we’re happy to advise.
The development of sustainable logistics concepts is an essential component of our corporate philosophy. That is why we have developed the RHEGREEN service. This allows you not only to calculate your current air and sea freight emissions, but also to choose the most CO2-efficient carrier and routing to reduce your emissions.
