Why Sustainable Refrigerated Transport?
Container Terminal Doesburg sets itself apart by using intermodal transport and inland shipping to transport temperature-sensitive goods. This approach is significantly more sustainable than traditional road transport, reduces congestion and reduces associated CO2 emissions.
For companies in the food and pharmaceutical sectors, among others, this approach not only offers a route to reducing their carbon footprint, but also helps them comply with environmental legislation and meet sustainability targets. Moreover, our efficient use of transport resources and continuity in the cooling process ensures certainty in product quality.
