Prices and Terms of DB Schenker Rail
Provisions Relating to Intermodal Transport
3
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”).

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.

during the year.
Special trains must be ordered from
DB Schenker Rail AG at the latest 48 hours

placed at shorter notice than 48 hours before
