Despite the holiday period, developments did not come to a complete stop at our new Moerdijk terminal. Let us walk you through progress made during recent months, and what steps we have to take toward completion.
During the last months, machines nor persons were standing still. For a long time, the most visible developments were the construction of the quay walls, the paving and the construction of the halls. Over the past few months, hard work has been done to continue building these aspects, as well as the construction of the office and porterhouse
Everyone's hard work has resulted in:
Right now, electrical work is being carried out and the installation of air conditioning and climate control is almost completed. Furthermore, our IT department is ensuring a smooth transition with regard to systems.
The upcoming weeks are all about ‘big furnishing’. The halls will be equipped with the overhead cranes on the inside and solar panels on the roof. All aspects needed on the quay like lights, security and fenders will be installed. Furthermore, the big gantry crane, with a span of 50 metres and a lifting capacity of 80 tons, is scheduled to be placed.
To complete the vision of a safely accessible, trimodal terminal, the railtrack is scheduled to be brought further onto the terminal, fencing will be placed and dredging will hopefully be started up soon.
Once the terminal is operational, it will be the interchange point in our blue road philosophy, referring to transport over the water of the Rhine or Danube. Van der Vlist believes in a multimodal approach, with the vision of using inland waterway and railway as the main gates to the hinterland and using road transport more and more for ‘the last mile’. With regard to activities, the emphasis is on storage and transshipment.
Everything is aimed at providing our customers with optimal, sustainable solutions. Not just transporting from A to B, but providing our management function at our terminal, where products from different parts of the world come together in a central location to be processed and distributed just-in-time. The Van der Vlist Group, as a 4PL service provider, can provide customers the complete logistics service.
