Logistic and freight companies to transport container hire via railways
Most freight and logistics providers are keen to reduce their carbon footprint by using railways much more when transporting goods.
DHL, for example, will be using the rail network for consolidated freight containers which have to be transported from the transhipment facility in Bremen to the terminals of the different liner shipping companies in Hamburg and Bremerhaven.
Up to now, most of these containers were taken by road transport to the various sea freight terminals but by opting to keep goods off the road, the logistics company estimates it will be able to save approximately 365 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
The container hire redistribution facility in Bremen is one of Europe’s most important sea freight transhipment centres. It is the base from which around 7,500 consolidated freight containers are transported to the terminals of various shipping companies each year. With rail transport proving its efficiency in a trial phase, it will now be used regularly from the beginning of April 2011 onwards.

Office building constructed out of shipping containers
A brand new, innovative three storey office building has been created out of used shipping containers Sunderland.
The project, which came to a total cost of £1.2m, was carried out for Sustainable Enterprise Strategies [SES], which supports social enterprises.
For the creation of the complex, there were thirty seven used shipping containers that were adapted and reconditioned ready for use – they will now house SES staff members, as well as being used as start-up accommodation for new businesses.
Each container that has been recycled will have been in use for about 20 years, traveling upwards of around one million miles transporting goods across oceans over the years.
The Director of SES, Mark Heskett Saddington, said: “We chose his unusual method of construction because it’s sustainable and appropriate. SES is committed to the principle of reduce, re-use and recycle and of course Sunderland has a long association with shipping. It’s also a relatively quick and low cost construction method.”

Is there anything better than container hire in Middlesbrough?
The answer to that question, of course, is a resounding no.
Indeed, getting container hire in Middlesbrough could fit the bill for businesses and individuals in the north-east.
If you don’t know by now where to find Teesside on a map, the Soviet Union certainly did.
The town was reputedly number two on the Russians’ list of potential UK targets during the Cold War.
After all, it contains a port, heavy industry and a nuclear power plant.
And, as you might expect, container hire is a popular service in the area.
