Maritime Logistics

Customer driven rail solutions

ERS Railways is the Hupac Group branch for maritime inland transportation based in Germany. Founded in 1994, ERS has more than 25 years of expertise in intermodal services for maritime containers.

Expanding network

Our high-performance network for maritime container transport connects the seaports of Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Wilhelmshaven and Rotterdam with the most important economic centres in Germany. We move your containers – from the seaport by rail and onwards by road to the final destination. Fast, efficiently and eco-friendly.

With our long standing experience in the field of intermodal services, we serve the terminals in Nuremberg, Munich, Augsburg, Regensburg, Ulm, Kornwestheim, Singen, Frankfurt and Mannheim as well as the border areas to the Czech Republic, Austria, France and Switzerland via combined transport.

In addition, ERS Railways offers the possibility of using the continental network of Hupac Intermodal for maritime volumes, allowing our customers to benefit from our full-service container handling on these routes as well.

All-round service for container transport

Our Customer Service teams in Hamburg manage the entire range of container transport services, including rail transport, port transhipment, local delivery and customs clearance.

An exclusive access to rail resources

Our strategic alignment with private rail company boxXpress and a jointly operated train network expands the spectrum for intermodal seaport-hinterland transport. As a shareholder of boxXpress, we get the best out of the market and make optimal use of the available resources.
