Binnenschiff
BargeEconomical, ecological, and safe
Barges are
a reliable transport means for all goods that need to be transported safely,
without time pressure. On the water there are no traffic jams or Sunday driving
bans, and accidents are rare, so barges are especially suitable for the
transport of hazardous substances. The terminal in Frankfurt has scheduled
connections to the seaports of Rotterdam and Antwerp as well as many other Contargo
locations along the Rhine. The transit time between Frankfurt and the western
seaports is 96 hours upstream (to Frankfurt) and 55 hours downstream (to
Antwerp or Rotterdam). At the quayside efficient handling is provided at
present by one transshipment crane – and in future two.
Roman BlaszczykEmployee Terminal Operations
“When
loading barges we have to observe some special points. For instance, we need to
follow the stowage plan for the vessel, which gives the exact position for each
container on board. Reefers, for example, always need to be placed next to the wheelhouse,
because the connection to the electricity supply is situated there. The loading
and unloading of barges is supervised both by our experienced 'Bodenmann', and
by a crewman who knows his boat better than anyone else.”
Bahn
RailOptimal connections
In the
Industriepark Höchst an extensive, efficient rail network gives direct access to
international rail freight routes. The rail approach to the Industriepark
branches off the Frankfurt – Niedernhausen line to the west of Höchst railway
station. The internal rail network in the Industriepark is about 57 kilometres
long. At the terminal Contargo Industriepark Frankfurt-Höchst, block trains can
be processed on four sidings each 400 metres long. There are also three more
sidings each 170 metres long.
Jörg BendelTeam Leader Terminal Operations
“Rail is an
excellent transport mode. Many of our customers make use of our rail connections
for good reasons: transit speed –safety and security of transport – ecologically
acceptable. And the transport costs are low compared to trucking. Particularly
for the many customers in the Industriepark, the way from rail wagon to
production plant is very short.”
Rhein-Main Rail Shuttle RotterdamFast transport to the seaport
The Rhine-Main
Rail Shuttle Rotterdam offers customers in the Rhine-Main region a direct
connection (A-B) between Frankfurt and Rotterdam. With two departures per week
and attractive transit times, this service is an alternative for time-critical
transports. Depending on the terminal concerned in Rotterdam, containers arrive
in 24-32 hours. Another plus is that the rail connection offers the same
transit time as long distance trucking, but at lower cost.

Containers
that have been handled at the terminal of Contargo Industriepark
Frankfurt-Höchst are not only driven speedily the last mile to customers in the
region – they are also delivered by truck to customers further away in the
European hinterland.
Getting there fast
The terminal
of Contargo Industriepark Frankfurt-Höchst is linked to the A3 (Cologne-Munich)
and the A5 (Hamburg-Basel) via the motorway junction Frankfurter Kreuz, which
is in the direct proximity of the Industriepark.

Services
Additional servicesAll-round service for container transports
Contargo
Industriepark Frankfurt-Höchst offers its customers a comprehensive range of services
for containers. This includes the storage of containers – whether standard containers,
reefers or containers carrying hazardous goods. The terminal also has an depot for
empty containers and a workshop for container maintenance and repair. Used
containers can also be purchased. After inspection, the purchased containers
can be delivered to the customer on side loaders. If desired, inlets can be
installed and the containers can be weighed. At this location Contargo also
handles bulk cargo.
Maintenance and RepairContainers in perfect condition
So that the
transport can run smoothly, Contargo offers maintenance and repair for standard
containers: they are inspected and repaired in consultation with the customer. For
instance locking devices on doors are made functional, rusty areas are restored
and necessary replacement parts are fitted. If a container is too badly damaged
for repair, it is taken out of service for the sea carrier and replaced. In cooperation
with Infraserv Höchst, Contargo also offers the repair and cleaning of tank
containers, including certificate-compliant cleaning and kosher cleaning.
DepotAmple space for every sort of container
In
Frankfurt Contargo stores full and empty containers on an area of 52,000 square meters.
Here approximately
45,000 TEU are handled every year. In the crane area containers are
stacked up to three tiers high, and in the empty container depot even five high.
Heating tank containersReliable temperatures for liquid goods
16
connections are available at the terminal for tank containers with liquids that
have to be stored at a constant temperature. Additional heating units can be
installed if there is a high demand. The equipment provides preheating
temperatures in the range of 30-95°C, and with glycol mixture up to 105°C. Even
tank containers with hazardous goods in the classes 3, 6 and 8 can be heated if
required, provided this is permissible.
Bulk goodsHandling beyond containers
For the
Industriepark Contargo also handles bulk goods. Two industrial cranes are
available for this
purpose, one of them directly on the terminal site. With one crane about 2,000
tons of industrial salt are unloaded every day, and with the other up to 950 tons
of hard coal daily, depending on the season.
ReefersContainers with connections
Contargo
Industriepark Frankfurt-Höchst is very experienced in the handling of refrigerated
containers. The terminal has 20 plugs for reefer storage. The terminal also
performs interior cleaning and short and long Pre-Trip Inspections (PTI) to
test the functioning of the refrigerated container before transport.
Installation of InletsAn ‘inner layer’ for containers
To make
containers suitable for the transport of liquids, free-flowing goods and bulk
goods, Contargo installs various inlets on request. For instance, for liquids
thermal inlets are installed that protect the goods from heat and cold. Contargo
also provides service for imports, for example wine in flexitanks: the inlets are
removed and disposed of according to legal requirements.
Fumigation Safe wood transports
All types
of wood and loading aids that are exported to south-east Asia have to be
treated for pests and parasites. However, imports also have a risk of infestation.
Contargo Industriepark Frankfurt-Höchst is the only terminal in the Rhine-Main area
offering the fumigation of wood. Contargo brings the container to the
fumigation site and the treatment is carried out by an authorised pest
controller.
Gefahrstoffe
Hazardous goodsService and safety
Chemicals logistics
pose special challenges for Contargo. For hazardous goods in particular,
special safety requirements and legal provisions have to be met. For this
reason all Contargo’s employees are trained in the handling of hazardous goods
and are familiar with the regulations and the relevant technology. This ensures
safe storage of chemicals for the protection of people and the environment.
Contargo works hand in hand with Infraserv Höchst. Especially customers in the
Industriepark benefit from the direct proximity to their production plant of a
trimodal container terminal with a depot for empty containers, and the
possibility of storing containers with hazardous goods for a non-restricted
period.
Roman BlicharskiTerminal employee, operations
“In the storage
of hazardous substances we have to observe various regulations. Thus not only do
we comply with the legal requirements of the German Technical Regulations for Hazardous Substances (TRGS510),
we also follow the guidelines of the German Chemical Industry Association (VCI).
In this way, for example, we prevent a situation where the substances from two containers
stored together could interact dangerously.”
Verwaltung/Kundenservice
Customer service and administrationFriendly support
In
Industriepark Höchst, Building G315, many employees are busy at computers and
telephones with all the administrative tasks of a container terminal: accepting
orders, advising customers, preparing orders, processing complaints, billing and
much more. Come in and have a look around.
Andreas BuchholzTeam Leader Booking/Orders
“In our
job, my colleagues and myself are very close to the customers. We deal with
enquiries, find the appropriate solutions and coordinate with our partners. It
is very varied work – whether a container has to be brought by barge from Rotterdam
to Frankfurt at short notice, or long term planning is needed for the handling
and transport of concrete parts for airport construction. For some time now we
have been operating on the “one face to the customer” principle. This has the advantage for our
customers that all their answers come from one contact.”
Patrick HummelTeam Leader Accounting/Sales
“Apart from
IT-supported billing for transport orders, stored containers and container repairs,
the main work of our department is customer support in the form of sales and
after-sales management, as well as checking complaints, freight and incoming invoices.
We are always accessible to the customer to give advice as wished. We also have
administrative tasks in connection with the monthly statement, management of
accounts payable and receivable, and statistics.”
Jens WagnerDispatcher Local Transport
"Truck
processing is a relatively complex task area. We not only plan the dispatch of
the vehicles, we also handle our own trucks and perform gate monitoring of incoming and outgoing orders.
For our customers we select a suitable truck, the appropriate chassis and the
necessary equipment for a smooth transport.”
Sven BlicharskiDispatcher Local Transport
"Of course
we always take account of the customer‘s particularities like height of ramp,
or shuttle transactions. This means that we are in continuous dialogue with
customers and subcontractors. No two days are alike and we have to stay
flexible.”
Leitung
ManagementWell positioned
The
location Contargo Industriepark Frankfurt-Höchst is directed by Kawus
Khederzadeh. He is supported by his two operational managers Kerstin Junker and
Jochim Wiechmann, who control all administrative and operative processes including
quality management, training and technology.
Kawus KhederzadehManaging Director Contargo Industriepark Frankfurt-Höchst
“By 2020 we
plan to extend the terminal by another 8,000 square meters and install an additional
crane on the water side. We hope to become even more efficient and flexible as
a result, and even more interesting to customers. Just now for instance, we are
engaged in discussion with various enterprises about handling a block train
from China in the near future.”
Kerstin JunkerCommercial Manager
“As a part
of the planned terminal extension we want to double the storage area for
hazardous goods containers, from its present 300 TEU to 600 TEU. We are also
planning to add more classes of hazardous goods to our storage portfolio. By
doing this we intend to make the terminal even more attractive to our established
clients, and acquire more new customers.”
Jochim WiechmannOperations Manager
“We will
also use the expansion project to change the layout of our barge terminal, to
make us more efficient. The enlargement will also enable us to create
additional capacities at the rail terminal in order to establish new train
products. For instance, at present we are trying out tarpaulin trailer rail transports
with the last mile to the customer by truck.”
Infraserv HöchstOne of the most important chemical and pharmaceutical locations in Europe
More than
90 prestigious enterprises from the chemical and pharmaceutical industry are
located in the Industriepark Höchst. On an area of 4.6 square kilometres, about
22,000 employees are engaged in research and production. As the operator of the
Industriepark, Infraserv Höchst provides many services: Energy supply, waste
management, construction services, environmental services, employee services,
infrastructure, logistics and hazard prevention.
Jürgen VormannChief Executive Officer, Infraserv GmbH & Co. Höchst KG
“As a
leading provider of site-related services, we regard it as appropriate to make
good connections to the seaports – safe, fast and flexible – available to our
customers. In this way the chemical and pharmaceutical enterprises in the Industriepark
can concentrate on their core competences, and Contargo Industriepark
Frankfurt-Höchst takes over all the services relating to their containers.”
