Since today, Thursday 29 July, the Ever Given has been moored at the quayside of the ECT Delta terminal. In close cooperation, Evergreen Marine Corporation and Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam (ECT) have worked out a plan to handle the Ever Given in Rotterdam. All continental European containers will be unloaded in Rotterdam.

ECT has more than 55 years of experience with container handling and is famous for its innovative concepts. Hutchison Ports Venlo was founded at the beginning of the eighties as the first connections between Rotterdam and Venlo were established. This contributed strongly to the development of the logistics sector in the Venlo region.More than 10 years ago, we introduced European Gateway Services (EGS) to further strengthen intermodal transport concepts between the deepsea ports and the European hinterland.

During Multimodaal Online 2021 the shortlist for ‘Railperson of the Year’ was announced. We are proud to say EGS’ General Manager Paul Zoeter is one of the three nominees.

Hutchison Ports Venlo, European Gateway Services and ECT Rotterdam offer you fully integrated, high frequent, multi- and intermodal connections and many additional services. The Venlo Express between Rotterdam and Venlo offers you many advantages; see our infographic.

The consequences of the event in the Suez Canal will remain noticeable for a while. In the media, the focus is on the handling of vessels in European seaports. The crux, however, lies in serving the customers in the hinterland as well as possible, by ensuring that export containers do not miss their connection and that import cargo is available in the warehouses as quickly as possible.

Rotterdam, March 4, 2021 - European Gateway Services (EGS) is further expanding its network in Southern Germany. With the new connection between Rotterdam and Regensburg in Bavaria, a fourth destination is added to the EGS network in Southern Germany. Munich, Nuremberg and Stuttgart (Kornwestheim) were already part of the EGS network. EGS is the transport product of Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam.

You do not want your valuable cargo to disappear because containers are opened during transport at railway yards or company sites. European Gateway Services (EGS) therefore offers its customers extra security.Almost all wagons that EGS uses in its network have so-called security bars.

Nearly 100 percent of rail freightwagons will have silent brakes by 2025; this is the result of European legislation. A great ambition! Much better, however, is that European Gateway Services (EGS) already operates these wagons between Rotterdam and Venlo and between Rotterdam and Southern Germany since 2014.
