auto Terminal
Our Auto Terminal has a storage area of 150,000 sqm purpose-built for securing an efficient and damage-free handling of finished vehicles inbound and outbound connecting Sea, Rail and Road. The storage area is expandable upwards, enabling us to store an additional number of vehicles if required – also on very short notice.
Key location
The SAL Auto Terminal is strategically located at the Port of Esbjerg, providing an easy access to a large number of intermodal transport connections. We are therefore able to offer a speedy and cost-effective delivery of finished vehicles to Scandinavia, Central Europe and the UK .
Operating around the clock
The terminal operates all hours, every day, to eliminate congestion and secure a fast turn-over. During periods of high volumes and vessel bunching, our advanced scheduling system and modern facilities enable us to keep efficiency at the highest level.
