We know the terminals inside out
We serve terminals in and around Prague every day and know how each one works. We plan the slots so your container does not sit around – at the terminal or at your site.
Shipping containers from the terminal straight to your dock
We handle the Czech road leg of intermodal container transport – a full shipping container from the inland terminal to your dock, an empty one delivered for loading and the full one taken back to the terminal for the train. Our own trucks, experienced drivers and a dispatch desk that picks up the phone.

- 15+trucks in the fleet

How it works
Ship and rail carry the container halfway around the world. The last miles are ours.
- 1Sea portThe container arrives by ship, for example in Hamburg, Bremerhaven or Koper.
- 2RailA train takes it hundreds of kilometres to an inland terminal in Czechia.
- 3Terminal in CzechiaWe collect the container at the terminal and load it onto our own chassis.Handled by Conpath
- 4Your dockWe bring it to your dock and, once it is unloaded, return the empty to the depot.Handled by Conpath
Exports work the other way round: we bring an empty container from the depot for loading and take the full one to the terminal for the train.
Why leave it to us
Terminal, depot and your dock – we know where the time gets lost
The last miles decide whether a container arrives on time and without detention. So we look after them ourselves – from the terminal slot to the return of the empty container.
Empties and depots
We do not leave an empty container standing. Once it is unloaded we take it to the depot, so you do not run up detention once the free days are over.
Import and export both ways
We carry full containers from the terminal to you, deliver empties for loading and take full ones back to the train. One haulier, one dispatch desk and one plan for both directions.
Why intermodal pays off
Cheaper, greener and with no reloading of your goods
Combining rail and road is currently the most cost-effective way of getting a shipping container from the port inland.
- Lower cost on long routesThe long-distance leg goes by rail; the truck only covers the first and last miles.
- A smaller carbon footprintPer tonne carried, rail emits considerably less CO₂ than a truck on the motorway.
- Your goods are never reloadedThe load stays in a sealed container all the way from the port to your dock.
- A plan you can rely onTrains run to a timetable, with no weekend driving bans and no motorway tailbacks.

Frequently asked questions
Which terminals do you serve?
Most often terminals in and around Prague, such as Metrans Prague-Uhříněves. We also run to other terminals in Czechia – how far we go depends on the job. Direct runs to ports and terminals abroad are covered on the International transport page.
What if I cannot unload the container on the day it arrives?
We agree with you where it waits. Either we unload the container in our warehouse in Milovice and return the empty to the depot straight away, so no detention runs up, or we leave it on its chassis at your site until you have time to unload it. In the latter case, bear in mind that the shipping line charges detention once the free days are over – we plan around that so the container stands idle for as short a time as possible.
Do you open the container during transport?
No. We never open the container in transit – the goods stay sealed from the moment we collect it at the terminal until it reaches your dock. It is unloaded at your site, or in our warehouse if that is what we agree.
We get containers regularly. Can you set capacity aside for us?
Yes. For steady volumes we can dedicate trucks to you long term, with agreed SLAs and a predictable price. You will find the details on the Scheduled lines and capacity contracts page – and of course we still take one-off collections from the terminal as well.
