Read more about freight forwardersEvery direct connection, in one search
Find out which ports, terminals, regions and countries are connected by direct service, who operates them, what the lead time is and their estimated CO₂ emissions. Compare port pairs side by side to find the best connection for your cargo.
Network questions
Where can I go directly from Rotterdam? Which operators serve my hinterland terminal? What connects Hamburg and Antwerp to Asia? Direct Connections answers questions that come before a fixed origin and destination.
Search from, to, or both
Select one or more origins, one or more destinations, or leave one side open. Every direct service between them is shown in a list and on the map. Filter by modality, operator, service code or transit time.
Service details, including CO₂e
Each connection shows operator, route, modality, transit time, weekly frequency and estimated CO₂e per TEU. Sea, short sea, rail and barge are listed together, so options can be compared side by side.
Port Comparison
When multiple origins or destinations are selected, Port Comparison shows how they differ in origins, destinations and port pairs. Select a country, port or terminal to see which operators serve it, with lead time, CO₂e and frequency. A quick way to benchmark gateways, spot alternatives and back up your routing decisions with data.
From insight to route
From any connection you can continue to Door-to-Door for the full route, from pickup to delivery, without entering your search again. Pro users can also go straight to Next Departures (beta) to see upcoming departures.
Who it's for
- Shippers and forwarders looking for direct alternatives on their lanes.
- Ports and terminals reviewing their direct connectivity and comparing it with other ports.
- Sustainability teams comparing the CO₂ impact of routing options.
How access works
Direct Connections shares your monthly searches with Door-to-Door. Free accounts get a limited number of searches and see the first 9 port pairs in Port Comparison. Paid plans get more searches and see the full Port Comparison.
Catch the first departure across operators and modalities
Knowing a route exists is only half the answer. Next Departures shows which vessel actually leaves next, when it arrives and who operates it. Choose an origin, a destination and a departure date up to three months ahead, and see the upcoming sailings of every operator side by side, without checking separate carrier portals and schedules.
- Start from your cargo-ready date, up to three months ahead
- Vessel name and IMO number, exact departure and arrival times, and transit time in days
- See who operates the vessel and who books space on it as a slot charterer
- Estimated CO₂ emissions for each route
- Inland rail and barge departures where available
- Narrow down by operator, modality or service code
- Sort by earliest departure, earliest arrival or shortest lead time
