Chemicals 

• Access to major deep-sea hubs
• Expansive shipping network
• Large tonnage quay to quay
• Convenient solutions

DFDS’ comprehensive transportation network and logistic services play an important role within the changing dynamics of the increasingly competitive chemical industry.

The chemical industry in Europe has long been a powerhouse in global production and consumption of speciality and fine chemicals, with Europe producing over 35% and consuming over 20% within the global market place

The right time

Deep-sea shipments of chemicals are continuing to increase, and notably emerging markets of the Middle East and China experience that due to their cheap natural resources. This explains why there has never been a better time to incorporate the major deep-sea hubs of Rotterdam and Hamburg to the DFDS shipping network, and benefit from the various distribution opportunities.

Customers benefit

DFDS is proud to be a transport supplier for several major chemical producers like Bertschi, Borealis, Hoyer among others. They currently benefit from the Mafi and Cassette systems, allowing economies of scale through transporting large tonnage quay to quay. This is complimented by pre-carriage and on-carriage through DFDS’ connectivity and experience in rail, barge and various modes of land transport. DFDS’ staffs offer the right dedication and experience to meet any individual requirements.
