Why partner with Rhenus

  • Well connected for reliable logistics: Thanks to direct access to road, rail and inland waterway transport, we are able to offer far more than basic container stripping and stuffing in Türkiye. These strong connections allow us to ensure high reliability, avoid congestion in busy port areas and move heavy cargo efficiently without the need for additional heavy-load permits.
  • Cost-optimized processes: Using container freight stations (CFSs) located directly at the terminal helps reduce costs and streamline operations. At selected Rhenus sites, empty containers can be collected on site, filled or stripped, and then moved directly to the export warehouse as full units. This eliminates empty repositioning and return transports, delivering clear efficiency gains and measurable cost savings.
