Your benefits at a glance
Our standard containers
Most cargo is shipped in dry or standard containers. Hamburg Süd uses robust 20- and 40-foot boxes constructed to handle every transportation need. Our 40-foot high cube containers are somewhat higher and suitable for transporting large-volume cargo. Our quality standards ensure that your cargo gets to its destination in the ideal condition. In addition to meeting your expectations for high service quality, we are also concerned to safeguard the environment: many standard containers feature robust and rapidly renewable bamboo flooring.
