HIS Hamburg Intermodal Service organises intermodal rail freight from the Port of Hamburg and Bremerhaven – hinterland rail connections, block trains, combined transport and the Eurasian Railway Corridor for Europe–Asia shipments. Eco-friendly, cost-efficient and reliable.
From the Hamburg terminal to destination by rail – we manage every corridor, train type and border clearance procedure.
Container rail from HHLA, Eurogate and Burchardkai terminals to inland KV hubs across Germany and Europe – Munich, Frankfurt, Cologne, Vienna, Prague and Warsaw.
Full block train services for full-container-load shipments. Ideal for high-volume shippers needing regular, reliable capacity on established rail corridors.
Fast rail freight Hamburg–China/Central Asia via the Eurasian corridor. 18–25 days transit – significantly faster than ocean (30–40 days) and far cheaper than air freight.
Intermodal supply chains combining rail, truck and ocean freight. One point of contact coordinates the entire chain – no interface losses and full cost transparency.
Transport of hazardous materials (ADR/RID) and special freight by rail – with appropriate permits, accompanying documentation and safety-compliant loading.
GPS tracking along the rail route, proactive ETD/ETA updates and full customs clearance at EU external borders – all managed through our digital customer portal.
From enquiry to delivery – transparent, on time and without surprises.
Container is collected at Hamburg port, terminal slot booked and all port documents coordinated – including THC and carrier release confirmation.
Container is loaded at the KV terminal, train manifest created and customs documents prepared for border crossings. We monitor every step.
Reliable rail transit along the agreed route, customs handling at all border crossings and proactive communication if any delays occur.
Unloading at destination KV terminal, last-mile delivery by truck and complete transport documentation for your accounting and customs records.
Experience, network and digital transparency for your rail shipments from Hamburg.
We take responsibility from port collection to final delivery – no need to coordinate multiple service providers for different legs of the journey.
Fixed train slots, long-established rail partnerships and proactive disruption management mean agreed arrival times are met consistently.
Connections to all key EU destinations and the Eurasian corridor to China, Kazakhstan and Central Asia via established rail partners.
