International Ocean Freight Solutions
Our Ocean Freight department provides comprehensive and global transport solutions for a wide range of different cargo-types - from conventional break bulk goods to hazardous and non-hazardous waste products to dangerous and explosives materials of various kinds.
Liner Shipments (Full and Less Container Load)
Thanks to regular departures by our independently selected partner shipping companies, we serve almost every national and international port around the globe thereby providing customers with secure, reliable and comprehensive shipping services for a huge range of general, sensitive, dangerous, and permit-related cargos around the entire world.
Our long-term transportation skills include the following goods:
Conventional cargoes / break bulk goods Out-of-gauge Ro-Ro cargoes (roll-on / roll-off) Hazardous goods class 1 - explosive materials Hazardous goods classes 2 to 6, 8, 9 Defense equipment (civil/military), components and munition Haz- and non-haz waste material
Next to the main-carriage by liner vessel itself, we furthermore provide a wide range of logistical side services, such as customs clearance, road freight or seaworthy packing of cargo carriers, to ensure the entire processing from shippers to receivers door.
Charter-Shipments (full & part-charter)
Chartering a whole vessel, or partial load, from the tramp market is especially suited to high quantity cargo (e.g. bulk/mass goods), special regulated goods and circumstances (defense equipment, explosives, waste materials) or oversized and heavy-load project cargos.
Depending on cargo requirements, it may be possible to individually tailor the type of chartered vessel or conditions - freight space/costs, timeframe, chartering time period, type of cargo vessel.
Our expertise covers the following cargos:
Break bulk cargoes Hazardous goods class 1 - explosives Hazardous goods classes 2 to 6, 8, 9 Containerised cargoes Hazardous and non-hazardous waste material Project-related cargo
Based on our long experience in the international ocean freight business, we know the market quite well and do have the right connections to a pool of chartering brokers, vessel owners, and forwarding-partners, to find the proper tonnage, for the right cargo, at the right place and time.
Turnover, Port- & Terminalhandling
In addition to the import- and export-handling in one of our German and European seaports, we also offer our customers international transshipments of a wide range of different cargoes, such as project cargoes, containers, ro-ro cargoes or hazardous goods via scheduled and chartered ships.
Individual port requirements and handling methods in the field of customs clearances, terminal handling or delivery and collection methods can pose significant difficulties if handling is incomplete or incorrectly performed. This may lead to financial loss and delays, which is why you should always have an expert verify the procedures.
Our expertise covers the following services:
Applying for specific port numbers Customs pre-declarations (e.g. in the case of goods requiring permits) Steps required by customs for approval (e.g. taking custody) Issuance of specific documents Accounting via specific IT-Port-Systems
Containerised General Goods

Cargo on EUR- and one-way-pallets Cargo in big-bags Cargo in wooden crates Industrial/mechanical components further
According to dimensions, weight or quantity of the cargo netcon int. GmbH offers its customers an individual fitting and economic solution, based on a range of different equipments types which matches the requirements of every cargo:

Seaworthy Stowing & Packing
The seaworthy stowing of cargo carriers, such as containers, flat racks or pallets, is an important part of every sea, air or land-based freight shipment (rail or road) and is essential for protecting the cargo and it’s environment (e.g. rolling movements of ships or truck braking manoeuvres).
Such shipments must also comply with individual guidelines and official, internationally-applicable regulations and, in the case of class 1 hazardous goods (explosive) in particular, goods need to pass through specific monitoring bodies before they can be released for despatch and subsequently shipped or transported.
Besides sustainable load securing, the following points concerning seaworthy storage must also be observed for transportation:
Condition of the cargo carrier/sufficient certification Use of approved dunnage and lashing material Fumigation of cargo carriers (if required) Packing certificates must be issued Sealing of the cargo carriers by customs Sealing of the cargo carriers by the shipper Correct labelling of the cargo carrier Correct weight distribution
As experienced partner in the sector of securing and stowing of cargo carriers as well as packing and crating of goods, we exactly know what matters to ensure the safe arrival of the goods.
Following services belong to the competences of netcon int. GmbH:
Seaworthy stowing of containers and flat racks Plywood and solid wood crates Container slide-in floors Anticorrosive coating (alu- & shrink-wrap) Mobile packing teams Dangerous goods packaging
We are looking forward to discuss this step in a personal conversation and to issue an individual loading plan.
Ro-Ro Shipments (roll-on, roll-off)
The field of ro-ro shipments offers a wide range of options and is divided into two different sub-areas: self-rolling and non-self-rolling cargoes.
Self-rolling cargoes are moved onto the respective modes of transport, such as ship, barge or pontoon using available proprietary drive systems or ro-ro loading ramps.
These include the following cargoes:
Trucks (military/civilian) Cars (military/civilian) Construction vehicles (excavators, loaders) Cranes Agricultural machinery Armoured vehicles
In addition to the low demands on port infrastructure, this form of transshipment also offers significant time and cost savings.
Non-self-rolling cargoes are moved onto the mode of transportation via the loading ramp using specific semi-trailers and towing vehicles.
These include the following cargoes:
Project cargoes (e.g. turbines) Military aeroplanes Civilian aeroplanes Track vehicles
This type of transshipment is used for a range of reasons, such as special port infrastructure characteristics, a lack of attachment points on the cargo or other economic aspects.
