Rail Access

As a shipper, you depend on a dense network of transfer points from road to rail and vice versa. Even without your own rail siding, you have the opportunity to carry out multimodal transports throughout Europe.

The online tool Rail Access offers a simple way to find the nearest access points to the rail network:

-quick search based on existing data

-additional filter options

-a clear presentation of search results on the result list and on the map

Each rail access profile offers a well-structured overview of the current and relevant data of the charging point, the existing infrastructure and contact options. The data is continuously updated and expanded.

Box2rail

You only need to make a few clicks to book a train for transporting containers "port-to-door", i.e. from one of Germany's seaports straight to the recipient in the hinterland. Rail freight is secure, fast and environmentally friendly, and the service is – of course – also available for deliveries travelling from loaders to Germany's ports as well.

Deutsche Bahn subsidiary TFG Transfracht developed the booking platform for this. Three clicks are all it takes to dispatch a container: one for a transport inquiry, one for an offer, and one for a reservation. To complete a booking inquiry, you need to provide just four items of information: port, destination, date of dispatch and container type. The system then immediately generates a price quote, and no registration is necessary.

The benefits at a glance:

- More streamlined booking process

- Intuitively usable

- Cost transparency

- Real-time service and support via chat function

- Live creditworthiness check for immediate booking

Rail transport's environmental friendliness and the geographical reach of the AlbatrosExpress network for TFG's seaport hinterland services are more great reasons to transport containers by train.

NHM-Codes

To simplify logistical tasks, all types of goods are provided with their own clear NHM code. We will help you to determine the correct code.

With NHM-Codes (NHM = „Nomenclature Harmonisée Marchandises – Harmonised Goods Directory“) every individual type of good can be clearly assigned. If you do not yet know the NHM code of your transport good or do not have it to hand, you can find it using our NHM code search.

You will quickly find the relevant code using the goods sector, goods group and goods type. Vice versa, it is possible to assign the type of goods by inputting the code. The search function is available in 21 languages.
