Straight onto the Maasvlakte

Our thirty Euro 6 trucks enter the Maasvlakte without restriction and load and unload straight at the deep-sea terminals. Being close to the port, and connected directly to Portbase, we collect your container quickly and take it to its final destination.

From Bergschenhoek, a few kilometres from the Maasvlakte, we haul every container size across the Netherlands and Europe every day, with a dedicated contact who advises you on equipment and route.
