QTerminals Kramer Rotterdam and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have signed an agreement for a temporary connection of the Rail Terminal West II (RTW-II) site to the Container Exchange Route (CER).
RTW-II is a temporary location of QTerminals Kramer Rotterdam situated on the Magallanestraat on the Maasvlakte and will be connected via the CER to other locations of QTerminals Kramer Rotterdam (RCT, KCL/DCS, KDD), the State Inspection Terminal of Dutch Customs, Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG) terminal and the ECT Delta terminal.
With the agreement for the temporary connection of RTW-II, all terminals and depots of QTerminals Kramer Rotterdam will be connected to the CER shortly. The KDD and RTW-II connections will be completed during this year.
The 17-kilometre-long closed road network currently links the terminals and depots of QTerminals Kramer Rotterdam and the box terminals of RWG, the Delta terminal of Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam (ECT) and the State Inspection Terminal.
The CER was commissioned at the end of November 2023. Since the end of 2023, the volumes transported on the road network have been steadily increasing. In the near future, new connections with terminals, depots and distribution centres are expected. The Port Authority also aims to connect as many container companies as possible with the CER, as long as they have the option of a physical link.
