Rotterdam launches closed loop for containers

[ November 28, 2023   //   ]

The Port of Rotterdam officially commissioned the Container Exchange Route (CER) on the Maasvlakte was officially commissioned on 28 November. The 17-kilometre-long closed road network currently links the container terminals of Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG), the Delta terminal of Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam, QTerminals Kramer Rotterdam and the State Inspection Terminal for Customs.

It is used by multi trailer systems, terminal tractor units with chassis and normal trucks and forms a ‘closed’ transport route and is not publicly accessible. Only transport companies with an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) permit from Customs may transport containers from one location to another on this route, enhancing the security and integrity of the logistics chain.

The Port Authority aims to connect as many container companies as possible with the CER.
