Container hire is used in many industries and has many different uses

Nowadays, the uses of shipping containers are wide and varied, which is completely different to their original use of shipping of cargo.

These days containers can be seen across the country in business premises, recreational areas and even in back gardens.

With the containers being extremely strong and secure, they make ideal storage units. They can also be transported easily and by many different means.

Container hire is very popular because there are so many industries who have a need for it such as shipping, cold storage, general, construction site and warehouse storage. Additionally some containers can be modified for site accommodation units, housing, exhibition stands and a whole host of other things!

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.
