Depot Pier 7 joins integrated planning inland container shipping

Depot Pier 7, part of the Waalhaven Group, joined Nextlogic’s integrated planning for inland container transport on 28 August.

With this latest connection, Nextlogic is taking the next step toward full implementation within the port of Rotterdam. From the Waalhaven to the Maasvlakte, integrated planning now enables optimal use of available inland shipping capacity, 24/7.

Depot Pier 7 became the fourth container depot in the Waal-/Eemhaven area to connect with Nextlogic in a short period of time.

Previously, five Maasvlakte deep-sea terminals and 17 barge operators made the same step. The more parties join, the more efficiently integrated planning runs. In collaboration with all participants, Nextlogic strives to manage 100% of all inland shipping through this system by the end of 2023.

For integrated planning, the only pieces of information that Nextlogic needs from terminal or depot operators are available quay capacity and expected crane travel speed. Barge operators are to submit their rotation, docking, and cargo information.

Aided by an advanced algorithm, this system leads to transparent and optimally aligned planning, which is continually customised to each situation. This approach adds substantial value for all stakeholders in Rotterdam’s inland container shipping chain.

Regular calls and fixed windows, as well as concepts like Barge Transferium Maasvlakte are optimally scheduled. This enables terminals, depots, and barge operators to optimally use their capacity, which results in shorter turnaround times at the port of Rotterdam.
