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 Russia, CIS and Turkey

Intermodal services to Russia, 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 Russia and Central Asia. Today, we provide services:

From Northern and Western Europe via the Baltic ports, including St. Petersburg
From Southern Europe and North Africa via the Black Sea ports, including Novorossiysk
From China and the Far East via Vladivostok / Vostochny

In St Petersburg, Novorossiysk and Vladivostok, we have local teams to assist with port-forwarding services and delivery to the final destination by road or rail.

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 Russia and Central Asia:

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

In St Petersburg, Novorossiysk and Vladivostok, we have local teams to assist with port-forwarding services and delivery to the final destination by road or rail. Alternatively, we can also offer LCL and consolidation services.
