As part of the range of services DB Schenker provides its intermodal customers, we can store containers at any of our locations on a short or long term basis. This service is designed to offer a 'hub and spoke' capability, where we hold the boxes at our nearest regional terminal and transport them to your delivery point just in time.

We have the capability to offer further value-added services, such as de-stuffing, trans-shipment, and container or swap body repairs.

With terminals across Britain, we have sites in the right locations that offer the perfect storage solution for your needs.

With the shifting demand for haulage around the UK linked to the arrival and departure of ships, you need inland buffer or management centres to manage the imbalances across the UK network.

This is where DB Schenker can help. Through our network of services and terminals. We will move your import box to a regional terminal from one port of entry and after discharge move the box to our terminal. It can subsequently be moved to a different port for export, to suit your needs.

And, it doesn't stop there. With our large inland terminals, our service offer is not just for shipping lines. We can also support the port operators by relieving peak season congestion.

This service can be provided as part of an intermodal train package or a unique one-off service tailor-made for your requirements.
