Breakbulk
Oversized projects need special care. Our nautical experts work with you to find individualised solutions for your transport challenges and ensure a safe and timely transport.
Open Top
Sometimes you just can't load your machinery the normal way. Our Open Tops allow you to load by crane quickly and efficiently. Our special steel floor editions provide you with more lashing points than traditional Open Tops, allowing for even more secure options for the transportation of your cargo.
Hardtop
A Hapag-Lloyd invention. The Hardtop container gives you multiple options to make your loading faster and easier while still providing you with all safety features that you expect from Hapag-Lloyd. We've even found a way to ensure that the steel roof is water tight so that your cargo is dry upon arrival.
Flatrack
Our Flatrack containers are built to carry your heaviest cargo. They are able to accommodate all forms of prelashed as well as breakbulk cargo.
