Rotterdam congestion eases as five ECT quay cranes become operational
ROTTERDAM harbour congestion, the subject of complaints, ship diversions and surcharges, is ending and restoring normal cargo flow as a big terminal upgrade that caused the trouble becomes less of a problem.
A spokesman for Rotterdam抯 troublesome Europe Container Terminals (ECT) said waiting times for both barge and feeder vessels have been minimised. The complex ECT upgrade involved installing five quay cranes, which are now up and running.
"Of course we still have our peak periods, but as far as we are concerned operations have now returned to normal," he said.
Said the port authority's break bulk director Joyce Bliek: "I have good hope that from now on the situation will only get better."
