Freight and Fashing: Two German Words That Sound Alike but Mean Very Different Things

If you're in logistics, you know the word "freight." If you're in Germany or Austria in February, you know the word "Fashing." They sound similar. They share the same first letter. But the similarity ends there.

Freight is serious business. It’s moving goods across borders, meeting deadlines, and keeping supply chains running. It’s containers, paperwork, customs clearance, and reliability.

Fashing is anything but serious. It’s people in ridiculous costumes, parades down main streets, candy thrown to children, and cries of “Alaaf!” echoing through Cologne.

So what do they have in common?
At Silver Runner, we combine them in our own way:

We are transparent. Unlike carnival masks, we hide nothing. What you see is what you get—quality containers, clear pricing, honest advice.
We are reliable. The only surprise we deliver is how smoothly your shipment goes.
We are multicultural. We move containers between Europe and Asia every day, so we appreciate both German precision and Central Asian hospitality.

The Bottom Line:
You can enjoy Fashing without thinking about freight. But when you really need freight—we’re here. No costumes, no confetti, just containers ready to ship.

Container shipping is the backbone of modern international trade. Every day, millions of containers cross borders, delivering a vast variety of goods. However, there are clear rules defining what cannot be placed inside a container under any circumstances. Violating these prohibitions risks not only heavy fines and cargo confiscation, but also criminal liability, and in some cases, poses a real threat to life and the environment.
