Shipping: A more sustainable mode of transport
It is important to reduce CO2 emissions, and at H. Daugaard, we have implemented initiatives into the work processes that have a huge annual influence on the amount of CO2 that we emit. Visit out page regarding sustainability to read more about our work for a more sustainable transport industry.
Maritime transport is more environmentally friendly than truck transport. However, it requires that you have a large amount of cargo that needs to be transported. If you do, then maritime transport is the most environmentally friendly mode. With more than 300 annual ship arrivals, for which we handle heavy cargo of more than 1,500-5,000 tonnes per load, our priority is the safety of both the cargo and our employees.
With each maritime transport, we make sure that the cargo is secured and that the unloading is handled with the utmost care. Our machinery is replaced when needed to make sure that our equipment meets the requirements we set for them. This ensures that our employees can safely manage the machines at every ship operation.
Furthermore, all employees are trained and continuously undergo training in both unloading and emptying of ships. With certification in environmental security, we provide our employees and customers a safe environment.
Advantages of maritime transport
There are many advantages to choosing maritime transport at H. Daugaard. Among other things, we offer the following advantages:
- Large shipping capacity
When you use our maritime transport, we load and handle your cargo, which makes it possible to ship large amounts on the same unit. - Centrally located traffic hub
We have facilities on the quay at the ports of Kolding and Vejle, which is ideal for further transport of the cargo. If we need to transport the cargo further with one of our other modes of transport, such as by road or rail, we are easily able to do that, which saves you time and money. - Environmentally friendly choice
With maritime transport, many units can be shipped at the same time, which saves on fossil fuels compared to truck transport. With maritime transport, economies of scale can be utilised. - Highly professional staff
We have a fully trained staff in stevedoring at all of our port locations. Our experienced staff is thus familiar with both receiving cargo as well as the unloading and loading of most types of cargo.

Shipping prices of maritime transport
Of course, the price of shipping your cargo depends on many factors. The size and the type of cargo that you need to have transported are deciding factors.
The destination also has an influence on the price, and therefore it is necessary to know the distance of the maritime transport needed to calculate the final price. It is also crucial whether you need further shipping after the maritime transport is finished. However, there can be great financial gain from using maritime transport, as there is a possibility of economies of scale. We would be happy to advise you on this.
Our experienced employees are available via phone or message and are always ready to guide you according to your needs.
