Dry containers

Most of Hamburg Süd’s container fleet is made up of dry or standard containers. Our robust 20-foot and 40-foot all-round boxes are constructed to handle almost every transportation need. 40-foot high-cube containers are somewhat higher and suitable for transporting large-volume cargo. An advantage for the environment: many of Hamburg Süd’s dry containers feature robust and rapidly renewable bamboo flooring.

You can fit a lot into a standard container – but not everything. Therefore, Hamburg Süd’s container fleet also includes various special containers: we ship general cargo, out-of-gauge or high-density cargo in open top containers or on flat racks.
