    From loading and unloading to pre- and post-carriage

    No matter what shape or form your products arrive in, you can rely on experienced Rhenus experts to take care of container stuffing and stripping without worry. From the careful loading and securing of your goods in containers and on flat racks to seaworthy packaging and efficient unloading and disposal of lashing and stowage material, all work is carried out in weather-protected environments at many Rhenus sites.

    Thanks to optimized processes, you benefit from reliable cargo container stuffing and stripping services and save costs on empty container transport during pre- or on-carriage. Everything is connected to multimodal transport routes and Europe’s largest network for general cargo transport by road with daily departures.

    Reduced complexity for your benefit

    The combined use of trucks, rail, barges and ocean-going vessels creates an optimal transport route that includes pre- and on-carriage.

    Fast handling processes using cranes, forklift trucks and reach stackers for pallets and boxes, big bags, bundles or loose cargo, as well as heavy and bulky goods, vehicles and machines.

    Data transmission via EDI and weighing of the verified gross mass (VGM) by reach stacker during the stuffing and stripping of containers provide a comprehensive overview and ensure compliant sea transportation.

    Time savings and reduced administrative hurdles for importers and exporters thanks to comprehensive customs clearance support.

    Rhenus expertise for stuffing and stripping

    • Optimally connected: We guarantee the best transport connections for our customers through access to road, rail and water routes, extending beyond container stuffing and stripping. This allows us to ensure high reliability, avoid heavy road traffic in port areas and transport heavy goods without additional permits.
    • More than container stuffing and stripping: Benefit from the versatile equipment available at our terminals. In Hamburg, for example, we provide seaworthy packaging directly at the terminal. Our port crane easily handles both heavy and small goods, and our “Greenliner” ship shuttle ensures sustainable container transport within the Hamburg port area. Locations like Cuxhaven and Hamburg also offer rail connections that allow sensitive loads to be reloaded directly from the wagon in a weather-protected environment.
    • Cost-optimized processes: Save costs using container freight stations (CFSs) located right at the terminal. At some Rhenus locations, this enables us to collect empty containers without additional transport to the terminal. After stripping and stuffing, containers can be taken to the export warehouse as full containers, eliminating the need for empty positioning and return transportation. This is a clear advantage in terms of efficiency and cost savings.
