Partners update inland service in the Netherlands

European Gateway Services (EGS), Barge Terminals Born and the Danser Group aim to update their Limburg Express, a fixed barge connection between Born, Venlo and the European Container Terminals (ECT) Delta terminal in Rotterdam.

[s2If is_user_logged_in()]The new product will be called Limburg Express 2.0 and will be enhanced with an additional vessel, which will call at other terminals in Rotterdam.

Limburg Express 2.0 is applauded by many companies, according to the announcement. “With Limburg Express 2.0, the partners see opportunities to start transporting even more containers by inland shipping,” Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam said.

The Limburg Express service was originally launched two years ago and the collaboration between the two inland terminals in Limburg, Barge Terminal Born and Hutchison Ports Venlo, has yielded various efficiency improvements, according to a statement.

“The consolidation makes it possible to use fixed windows at the ECT Delta terminal in Rotterdam. As a result, the ship is handled according to a fixed schedule – and therefore reliably,” explains ECT.

ECT went on to say that the deployment of a push-barge combination allows for much larger volumes to be transported to Limburg per sailing. Furthermore, the handling at the inland terminal is much more efficient, according to ECT.

“For example, the pushed lighter is moored in Venlo for unloading and loading while the barge sails on to Born in the meantime. In addition, containers are efficiently reused. Empty containers are repositioned between the terminals via the Limburg Express. For example, it may be the case that the empty import containers are transported from Venlo to Born to be loaded again with export cargo there,” added ECT.[/s2If]
