DEVELOPMENT OF CONTAINER EXCHANGE ROUTE
Description
The Port of Rotterdam contains several container terminals all situated on the Maasvlakte I and II.
All these terminals receive containers from land and waterside. Trucks are bringing and taking all these containers to their customers in the hinterland. However, a lot of containers require forwarding via water.
This means that a number of containers need to be transported from one terminal to another terminal.
The port owner, Havenbedrijf Rotterdam, has set up a plan for a better coordination of these containers moving being transported from one terminal to another terminal without the need to have the container cleared by customs.
The new development is called Container Exchange Route.
