TANKER SHIPPING
ABOUT US
We have been creating transport solutions on European waterways since 1947. We B. Dettmer Reederei are one of the largest and most efficient shipping companies in Germany.
Thanks to our fleet of tankers, which are specially designed
for the western European canal area and the Elbe traffic.
Our fleet comprises state-of-the-art double-hull tankers, which are designed to the highest safety standards. Our tankers are primarily utilised in the mineral oil industry, but they are also configured for specific applications in the chemical sector. Our company is structured in a lean and independent manner, which allows us to offer competitive pricing for a range of services, including carriage, freight and associated services.
WHAT WE DO
All tanker shipping business is managed by the Hamburg branch. In addition to providing tanker space for the transportation of your goods, we also offer comprehensive logistics solutions. These are realised in collaboration with other companies within the Dettmer Group or with external partners.
The objective in long-distance shipping is to facilitate the direct transshipment of chemical products in or from tank wagons, as well as mineral oil transports on the Elbe in the Port of Hamburg and stations in the canal area. This encompasses bidirectional transportation in the ARA region, as well as the transportation of base oils and waste materials.
Dettmer Reederei can offer more extensive transport solutions, including multimodal, bidirectional services to Eastern Europe, thanks to the addition of Dettmer Groups’ and Dettmer Rail’s GmbH tank terminal in Magdeburg.
Our service package is designed to meet your specific requirements.
