Denmark is the fastest-reachable Scandinavian market via the land border at Flensburg – and, with a strong pharma, food and high-tech industry, a demanding one. Speed Logistics runs the Germany–Denmark route as a direct run: around 700 kilometres from Berlin, delivery in Copenhagen, Aarhus or Odense usually within 24 hours of collection.
As intra-EU traffic, the transport runs without customs formalities. You receive your fixed-price quote within a few hours – including ferry or bridge costs, so you can calculate with a binding final price.
Services for your Denmark transports
- Direct run without transhipment – part loads and full truckloads from the Sprinter van (3.5 t) to the 40-t articulated truck
- Overnight express freight to Copenhagen – collection in the afternoon, delivery the next morning
- Temperature-controlled transports – for pharma and food shipments with a documented cold chain
- Premium handling – for high-tech, laboratory equipment and high-value consumer goods
Routes: via Jutland or the Vogelfluglinie
To Jutland – for example to consignees in Aarhus, Aalborg or along the industrial belt on the E45 – we travel via the land border at Flensburg. For Zealand and the Greater Copenhagen area, the dispatch team chooses, depending on departure time, either the Puttgarden–Rødby ferry (the Vogelfluglinie, or “bird flight line”) or the land route via Jutland and the Great Belt Bridge. Both variants are firmly calculated; which is faster depends on the pick-up location and the ferry frequency – all you notice is the reliable delivery date.
Process: from quote to delivery in Denmark
You give us the pick-up location, dimensions, weight and deadline; within a few hours the fixed price is ready. Once the order is placed, we collect the goods anywhere in Germany and drive directly to the consignee – without transhipment. A delivery note and CMR consignment note are sufficient; en route you receive status updates, and delivery is signed off with a proof of delivery.
Typical shipments on the Denmark route
The range extends from temperature-controlled pharma and food shipments through machine and plant parts for industry in Jutland to high-value consumer goods and furniture for retail in the Greater Copenhagen area. We also frequently run supply parts for the wind power sector and urgent spare parts for production companies – shipments where the fixed delivery date matters more than the last euro of freight costs. For recurring needs we set up weekly services with fixed departure days; return loads from Denmark – such as food, furniture or machine components – are dispatched on the same axis, thus optimising your costs in both directions. Trade-fair transports to Copenhagen with fixed build-up times are also part of the daily business; urgent single shipments are handled by the Sprinter van on an overnight service.
Equipment and special features of the Denmark route
For the Danish pharmaceutical industry – from Greater Copenhagen to Kalundborg – we run temperature-controlled shipments with recorder logs and an unbroken cold chain. Food shipments are handled by refrigerated vehicles with the appropriate temperature zone, while high-tech and laboratory equipment travel air-suspended with adapted load securing. In route planning we take Danish particularities into account, such as the toll and bridge charges (Great Belt, Øresund when continuing to Sweden) as well as time windows at the ramps of the large retail distribution centres. We give you guide prices in advance depending on the route and lead time – binding is the fixed price you receive within a few hours.
