Prices and Terms of DB Schenker Rail
Provisions Relating to Intermodal Transport
1
Scope and General Information
This document sets out DB Schenker Rail prices and
terms for intermodal transport. It also includes the
supplementary provisions governing national intermodal
transport. In addition, the DB Schenker Rail
General Provisions for Freight Transport Services and
the Provisions Relating to Privately Owned Freight
Wagons/Freight Wagons of Other Keepers shall apply.
Within the terms of this document, intermodal transport
is understood to mean the carriage of loaded or
empty containers, swap bodies and semi-trailers.
Containers with a height of more than 2,603 mm
(8‘ 6 1 ⁄2‘‘) may exceed the railway’s loading gauge and,
if delivered by road, may exceed the maximum height
of 4 m permitted by the German Road Traffic Licensing
Regulations (StVZO).
For the forwarding of such containers, special transport
conditions must be agreed with DB Schenker
Rail. The General Terms and Conditions of DB
Schenker Rail for the Performance of Services (ALB),
as amended from time to time, shall apply.
A container, swap body or semi-trailer is equivalent
to a single loading unit (LU).
A consignment is understood to mean the LUs
dispatched under a single container consignment
note.
The customer is responsible for ensuring that,
where loading units are loaded, the fastening
mechanisms are secured using means of securement
(such as seals).
2
Approved goods
Types of goods
Goods of all types in containers, swap bodies 1) and
semi-trailers, as well as empty containers, swap bodies 1)
and semi-trailers.
NHM Position/Code
The NHM code will depend on the type of goods
loaded in the containers, swap bodies and semitrailers,
or on the empty containers, swap bodies
and semi-trailers.
1) Swap bodies and semi-trailers (loaded or empty) will only be accepted for forwarding if they are codified.

Prices and Terms of DB Schenker Rail
Provisions Relating to Intermodal Transport

Prices and Services
Prices (freight rates) are available from our
sales personnel on request.
The freight rate is expressed as a basic charge – the
fee for forwarding one LU by rail. The basic charge
covers the following services:
– supply of container flat wagons for rail transport
within the specified periods allowed for loading
and unloading,
– handling of the LU at the terminal,
– rail transport of the LU into the terminal or into
the public loading track or up to the agreed transfer
point.
All other services rendered are charged separately.
We can also provide customers with containers,
and offer pre-carriage and onward carriage road
transport services to or from the terminal, or into
or out of the private siding.
LUs that arrive at the terminal and for which no
further instructions have been received will be
handed over for storage.
In such cases a charge per LU will be added. The
storage of LUs is subject to DB Schenker Rail AG
“Special Provisions for Storage and Other Services
Rendered at Transshipment Stations (Ubf) and in
Service Centres (SC) for System Transports (Storage
Conditions for Intermodal Transport”).
4
Pricing (freight rates), Terms of Sale
Freight rates are calculated per LU by multiplying
the basic charge with the relevant scaling factor
determined by the length and total weight of
the LU.
The scaling factors are listed in the following table.
Loading unit as a function of length and total weight 1)
≤ 6.15 m 6.16 – 7.82 m 7.83 9.16 – 13.75 m SAnh
≤ 8 t 0.48 0.50 0.75 0.96 1.00
> 8–≤ 16.5 t 0.48 0.50 0.75 0.96 1.00
> 16.5–≤ 22 t 0.75 0.75 0.90 1.00 1.00
> 22–≤ 34 t 0.75 0.75 0.96 1.00 1.00
> 34 t 0.85 0.85 1.00 1.00 1.00
The minimum scaling factor per consignment is 1.00.
In intermodal freight transport, a privately owned
wagon discount is not granted for the use of privately
owned freight wagons.
Consignments shall be dispatched “freight paid and
all costs”.
1) The total weight is the sum of the tare weight of the LU, the weight of
the freight load and the weight of any loading equipment/pallets stowed
with the load.
Stacks of empty used container flats that do not exceed the railway’s
loading gauge will be treated as a single empty LU.
5
Ordering Special Trains
Special trains are trains that are not contained
in the annual timetable or in adjustments made
during the year.
Special trains must be ordered from
DB Schenker Rail AG at the latest 48 hours
before the required departure time. For orders
placed at shorter notice than 48 hours before
the required departure time, any corresponding
additional terminal costs will be invoiced separately.

DB Schenker Rail AG Special Provisions for Storage and Other Services rendered at Transshipment Stations
(Ubf) and at Service Centres (SC) for Combined Transports (Storage Conditions for Intermodal Transport) –
Applicable from: 1 January 2013 – The latest price tables can be obtained from our sales agents.
11
1 Scope, Supplementary Conditions, Principles
1.1 We provide storage and other services by arrangement at Ubfs and SCs to the following
conditions, presupposing that the customer has purchased a carriage-by-rail/transshipment
product from us to which the storage corresponds. The relevant Ubfs and SCs
are set out in the price table applicable at the time.
1.2 Governing these services are the “General Terms and Conditions (ALB)” in force at
DB Schenker Rail AG at the time, except where anything in these Storage Conditions for
Intermodal Transport states otherwise.
1.3 Load units (LUs) containing dengerous goods – including uncleaned empty LUs in
which dangerous goods have been carried – are additionally subject to the temporary
storage provisions set forth in the Dangerous Goods in Intermodal Transport Guide.
1.4 Constituting LUs for the purpose of these conditions are
– containers (as defined in ISO standards)
– swap bodies (as defined in CEN standards)
– semi-trailers (as defined in Germany’s Road Traffic Licensing Regulations).
1.5 LUs are required to conform to the governing statutory and technical provisions and
to be suitable for handling and storage inclusive of stacking in intermodal operations.
1.6 The customer is liable for all damage suffered by ourselves and any third parties due
to LUs or – in the case of loaded LUs – their cargoes not being in proper condition. The
same applies for damage arising on account of our not being informed by means of special
notice, accompanying documents or markings on the LUs of hazards relating to LUs
containing dangerous goods or to empty uncleaned LUs in which dangerous goods have
been carried.
1.7 The customer shall issue us with orders for storing LUs and proceeding with stored
LUs in writing or by fax to the Ubf or SC providing the storage service. Where so agreed,
orders are to be addressed to our Customer Service.
1.8 We are not obliged to surrender an LU where no proof of authorisation to collect is
furnished.
2 Storage of LUs
2.1 In their storage order, the customer shall indicate to us whether the empty LU is to
be stored at the Ubf or as a depot container at the SC pursuant to Clause 3 of these Conditions.
Where no specific instructions are given, incoming empty LUs will be stored at
the Ubf. Transfer to the SC shall always be performed to the customer’s account. No
short-notice numeric access to empty LUs is possible at the Ubf. Only loaded LUs transported
by rail immediately beforehand or afterwards can be stored, and this is performed
exclusively at Ubfs. LUs to be forwarded by rail can only be stored by special
arrangement.
2.2 LUs arriving by rail may only be stored up until the time of delivery agreed with the
customer or the agreed time of collection by the consignee, as applicable. If the delivery
time specified by the consignor is not accepted by the consignee or if collection does
not take place at the time agreed, then there is an obstacle to delivery.
2.3 LUs containing dangerous goods or empty uncleaned LUs in which dangerous goods
have been carried may not be delivered prior to their day of dispatch. Either they are to
be taken over by the customer at reception on their day of arrival or instructions for
their carriage are to be issued for their day of arrival. Where such LUs are not taken
over and no instructions are issued for their carriage within the time limits specified,
Section 410 (2) German Commercial Code HGB applies accordingly.
2.4 The storage of LUs on legs is to be agreed separately.
3 Storage and Other Services at SCs
3.1 Empty LUs only are stored at SCs. Uncleaned empty LUs that have contained dangerous
goods are excluded from this service offering. Any order for storage at the SC is
deemed to constitute stockholding instructions. The customer, therefore, expressly
authorises the holding of its stock by the operator of the SC (Section 472 [2] HGB).
3.2 The following services already covered by the handling charge under Section 2 of the
price table are provided in the context of storage:
a) inspection of LUs entering and leaving
b) advice of items entering and leaving
c) advice of heavily soiled and damaged LUs
d) LUs swept clean.
3.3 LUs are inspected to establish whether they can be loaded. This includes:
a) an external examination that entails checking the sides and ends of LUs for leaks,
establishing the functioning of and any damage to door fastenings and hinges, and
checking the top and bottom corner fittings for damage; this external examination also
includes checking tarpaulins fitted on open-top, tilt and open-side containers.
b) an internal examination that entails checking the LUs’ sides, ends and roofs for leaks
and their floors for damage rendering them ineligible to run
c) removing any loading residues
d) sweeping clean.
The services listed at 3.3 a) and 3.3 b) relate only to damage that can be seen with the
naked eye. Should it not be possible to remove loading residues when performing the
services listed at 3.3 c) and 3.3 d), we will notify the Client without delay.
3.4 Where tank containers, tank swap bodies and tank semi-trailers are concerned, only
the services listed at 3.2 a) to 3.2 c) are performed, with the inspection under 3.2 a)
being confined to an external examination.
3.5 Inspection reports shall be issued for LUs entering and leaving.
3.6 Inspections may also be conducted by special agreement at Ubfs. Their scope and
cost shall be determined on a case-by-case basis.
3.7 So as to guarantee both parties a smooth sequence of operations at the SC, our
customers may only issue instructions for LUs by type. Any general “first-in/first-out”
approach to the processing of LUs is expressly ruled out. Planning by number shall only
be adopted in exceptional instances and by special arrangement.
4 Advice on storage
4.1 We will send the customer advice of loaded LUs to be stored before the charge-free
period has elapsed.
4.2 We will send the customer advice of empty, private LUs upon unloading of the LUs
at the customer’s or upon arrival of the empty LUs by road. This advice ceases to apply
if we already have an order for carrying the empty LUs.
5 Charges, Accounting
5.1 The charges for storage and handling are indicated together with the calculation
principles applying to them in the price table applicable at the time. The prices cited
therein are net prices to which the governing rate of value-added tax is added.
5.2 The prices and calculation principles in force when the service is provided shall
apply. We will notify our customers of any changes 20 days before they take effect
where existing business relations are concerned.
5.3 Accounts with the customer shall be settled on an invoice basis.
5.4 Invoice queries are to be submitted by the customer within 6 months of receipt of
the invoice in question.
6 Liability
6.1 We shall be liable for loss or damage during the storage of LUs in Ubfs up to a
sum of 8.33 accounting units per kilogram of the gross weight of the consignment.
In the event of partial loss or damage, Section 431 (2) HGB shall apply accordingly.
The value of said accounting units is arrived at on the basis of Section 431 (4) HGB.
Our liability shall, whatever the case, be limited to a sum of one million euros or
2 accounting units per kilogram and incident of damage, whichever ist the higher.
6.2 In accordance with stockholding legislation, we shall be liable for the storage of LUs
at SCs inclusive of services performed to the following upper limits:
– up to 2 accounting units per kilogram of the gross weight of LUs in the event of their
being lost or damaged
– up to max. € 5,000 per instance of damage to goods and property, however.
6.3 Any further claims for damages against us, our employees or our vicarious agents
shall not be considered unless our liability arises from binding statutory provisions or
the damage was caused wilfully or through gross negligence. Exemption from liability
shall not apply if material contractual obligations are breached. In such cases, indemnity
claims shall be restricted to such typical damage which could have been reasonably
foreseen.
