Rhenus delivers intermodal transportation across global trade gateways, inland hubs and cross-border networks. With more than 21,000 containers and access to around 250 depots worldwide, we connect road and ocean freight into reliable end-to-end logistics concepts for resilient and scalable international logistics.
Since the early 1990s, Rhenus has coordinated complex intermodal transportation flows across key trade corridors. We combine door-to-door services with smart routing across multiple gateways, precisely tailored to your operational requirements. By choosing intermodal transportation, you benefit from shorter transit times, optimized costs and measurable environmental advantages. Our global network connects ports, inland hubs and cross-border destinations to create flexible intermodal cargo solutions for international supply chains.
We offer one way leasing, short and long term rentals as well as container trading. These flexible options allow you to deploy equipment exactly where needed, reduce capital lock in and position assets strategically to increase efficiency and margins. Our container concepts are a core element of effective intermodal transportation.
Your cargo travels seamlessly across different modes while remaining secured in the same loading unit from the origin port to the final destination. This approach ensures a stable supply chain and full transparency throughout the entire intermodal transportation process.
Rhenus coordinates intermodal transportation concepts across international trade lanes, combining port connections, inland distribution and cross-border transport networks. Depending on corridor structures and regional infrastructure, different transport modes can be integrated to optimize transit times, flexibility and cost efficiency.
As an NVOCC, we secure capacity with mainline carriers and feeders while operating with our own containers (SOCs). This secures space protection, competitive handling rates and extended free time for demurrage and detention – key advantages within modern intermodal cargo solutions.
Rail transport is an important component of many global intermodal transportation concepts. Depending on the trade lane and available infrastructure, rail can support more efficient, reliable and sustainable cargo flows within global supply chains.
By combining transport modes intelligently, intermodal transportation reduces overall expenses through optimized routing and improved pricing structures.
Alternative routes and modal flexibility allow quick responses to congestion or disruptions, keeping delivery schedules stable.
Intermodal cargo solutions can integrate lower-emission transport options where infrastructure and trade lanes support their use, helping companies reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Our international footprint delivers seamless door-to-door intermodal cargo solutions across global trade corridors, including North America and cross-border transport networks.

Intermodal transportation moves goods using multiple transport modes without rehandling the cargo itself. Containers or loading units remain sealed, increasing efficiency and reducing damage risks.
Key benefits include lower costs, flexible routing and improved sustainability. Reduced handling also minimizes the risk of loss or damage.
Real time tracking provides continuous updates on location and status, supporting transparent supply chain management.
Security measures include sealed containers, monitored terminals and strict compliance with international standards.
Combining ocean freight, trucking and inland distribution concepts can improve flexibility, optimize transit times and support more logistics operations across international trade corridors.
