ECT terminals join InlandLinks network
EUROPEAN Container Terminals (ECT) has added four its facilities - TCT Venlo, DeCeTe Duisburg, TCT Belgium (Willebroek) and MCT Moerdijk - to the InlandLinks network, which currently comprises 80 terminals in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Austria and Italy.
The four inland terminals serve as extended gates for ECT's deepsea terminals in Rotterdam and are part of the extensive synchromodal network operated by ECT subsidiary European Gateway Services (EGS), the company said.
The terminals are linked via high-frequency rail and/or inland shipping connections to deepsea terminals in Rotterdam and Antwerp and EGS itself is also part of the InlandLinks network in its role as operator.
The terminals in Venlo and Duisburg are trimodal facilities, while Moerdijk and Willebroek are bimodal. The terminals offer a combined total of 2 kilometres of quay and 1,400 metres of track, and together cover a surface area of some 57 hectares.
InlandLinks is the online platform for container terminals in the hinterland that offer intermodal (rail and/or inland shipping) services to and from Rotterdam where the total volume of container shipments is expected to triple over the next 25 years.
Of the total volume of some 30 million TEU put through Rotterdam in 2035, 12 million TEU are expected to be shipped by smaller vessels from Rotterdam to other European ports and vice versa. Around 18 million TEU will be transported to and from the hinterland via intermodal transport, the company explained.
