: EH) is a service company providing rail transportation and associated storage as well as operating the Rhine ports of Schwelgern and Walsum-Süd.

Within individual sites the company uses mainly shunting locomotives such as Krauss-Maffei Class MH 05 (522 kW power).

EH locomotives and some wagons carry a livery of primary yellow and red with blue numbering.

The main cargo is imported iron ore and coal brought from overseas via Rotterdam and the Rhine.

The iron ore and coal is transported in unpowered barges and unloaded by Gantry cranes onto conveyor belts leading the coking plant at Duisburg[7] via grinding and/or sizing equipment in the case of coal, and to blending equipment or storage in the case of iron ore, both ultimately destined for the steel furnaces of Thyssen Krupp.

[2] An air controlled warehouse at Beeckerwerth with both road and rail links is operated for the storage of ThyssenKrupp steel products.

The prehistory of the Eisenbahn und Häfen goes back to 1919, with the first port operations at Alsum and Schelwegern, major growth starting in 1926 with the creation of the Stahlwerke AG.
