In the realm<br />
of cranes<br />
Transhipment stations form<br />
hubs and gateways between<br />
road, rail and ship.<br />
3. TranShipmenT<br />
At large transhipment stations gantry<br />
cranes or reach stackers move up to<br />
330,000 unit loads per year. As traffic<br />
volumes continue to rise, the expansion<br />
of this infrastructure is required in<br />
many places – or longer opening times.<br />
1. ShipperS<br />
Trucks collect containers from customers<br />
in trade and industry and transport<br />
them over a short distance to a nearby<br />
transhipment station.<br />
2. Delivery<br />
As a rule, the containers or semi-trailers<br />
reach the transhipment station in the<br />
afternoon, where they are loaded onto<br />
the booked train.<br />
4. TranSporTaTion<br />
<strong>DB</strong> Intermodal trains run according to<br />
precise timetables. Many economic centres<br />
and seaports can be linked thanks to fast<br />
overnight deliveries<br />
5. arrival<br />
In maritime intermodal<br />
transport, containers<br />
switch from one mode<br />
of transport to another<br />
again at the port, and in<br />
continental intermodal<br />
transport it is another<br />
transhipment station.<br />
Sixty per cent of the<br />
business handled by <strong>DB</strong><br />
Intermodal involves<br />
continental transport.<br />
DEPOTS AND<br />
SERVIcES<br />
Depots are usually<br />
located in the vicinity<br />
of the transhipment<br />
station where empty<br />
or loaded containers<br />
can be stored temporarily.<br />
Additional<br />
services such as<br />
cleaning, repairs and<br />
container repositioning<br />
are also offered<br />
here (see page 29).<br />
