Cargo securement

Safety comes first

A secure load prevents damage to your consignment and eliminates unnecessary delays. We will be glad to advise you on how to ensure that your consignment arrives safe and sound.

We ship your goods to your specifications and provide you with the most appropriate freight cars. The choice of the right car is the first key step to ensuring that your cargo is transported safely and securely. We will be glad to send you detailed information on this subject.

Unfortunately, we cannot assume responsibility for the safe loading and unloading of your goods. However, we do offer you competent support and advice. If you wish, we can request local advice on shipping procedures on your behalf through your customer account executive. Otherwise, our support and advisory team will be glad to answer all your questions on cargo securement.

Beyond this, there are guidelines and regulations that we recommend our customers to observe:

• To ensure safe rail transport operations, please observe the shipping guidelines of DB Schenker Rail Deutschland AG (UIC loading guidelines).
• The transport of hazardous goods is also subject to the regulations covering the carriage of hazardous goods by rail (GGVSEBI)
