Intermodal transport is the preferred way to move freight over longer distances.
It optimally combines various modes of tank container transport.
This method has proven to be a safe, cost-effective, flexible and sustainable way to ensure that shipments are efficiently carried to their destinations.
Owning over 900 trucks, we can provide both regional as well as international transport.
So no matter where your products need to go, we’ll make sure they get there.
Every year, the fleet is expanded with dozens of high-standard new trucks, which are then provided with annual functionality updates by Den Hartogh’s dedicated M&R department.
Safety
Our safety measures go well beyond the legal obligations set by the various laws and regulations we work under. Through our dedicated training institute, we offer a wide range of safety training courses for both operational and office colleagues. All our operational employees are licensed to handle liquid chemicals, liquefied gases, liquid food, polymers, and dry bulk food. In addition, our chemical operations are supported by experienced safety advisors who have in-depth knowledge of each product we transport, and by field supervisors who provide guidance, inspect loading and unloading facilities, and carry out regular spot checks. This specialist approach and safety-first mindset enable us to deliver safe, smart solutions every day.
The Power of Safe
At Den Hartogh, we believe in looking out for one another. We want everyone to get home safely to their families and loved ones after a day’s work. Our people are our most valuable asset, they are Den Hartogh. The health and safety of all of us, and of everyone involved in our operations, will always outweigh any economic value.
Why do we want to tell our customers about The Power of Safe?
Den Hartogh firmly believes that safety should be a shared responsibility throughout the entire supply chain. Everyone who interacts across the chain – from drivers and customer service colleagues to the commercial team and supply chain partners – plays a part in influencing safety and safe working practices.
How do our customers benefit?
By working with us, our customers can rely on a partner who puts safety first in everything we do, helping protect people, assets, and the environment, while ensuring reliable and efficient operations.
Reliability
We know that supply chain management and just-in-time deliveries can get pretty complex. Over the years, we’ve built extensive experience managing supply chain operations for customers in the chemical and food industries. Many of these customers have outsourced their logistics activities to us – not only to improve (cost) efficiency, but also to enhance safety and sustainability.
So yes, it’s safe to say we know what we’re doing. We look at challenges from your point of view and aim to go beyond traditional logistics and standard service levels. As a result, you can respond faster to end-user needs and specific customer demands.

Case Study: Sun Chemical
By switching to Den Hartogh’s tailored intermodal ISO tanks, we were able to help Sun Chemical increase payloads by at least 19%. This means their ink flush product can now be transported both sustainably and cost-effectively.
Sustainability
At Royal Den Hartogh Logistics we recognise our responsibility to take action and lead with a forward-looking environmental policy. As our customers move along their own energy-transition journeys, we know our role is to provide a sustainable, environmentally-responsible supply chain.
To fulfil this commitment, we’ve set an ambitious target: to reduce our CO₂ intensity per tonne-kilometre by 25% by 2025 compared with our 2019 base year, and to become fully climate-neutral by 2050. We invest heavily in alternative fuels and new propulsion methods for our trucks (such as HVO and LBG), and promote intermodal transport wherever possible to cut transport emissions.
Together with you, our customer, we’re building dedicated low-emission “Green Corridors” that prove sustainable logistics in practice, because real change happens when we work together.
