As well as being OTAL's largest ever consignment to a single port, it was also the largest ever shipment of cocoa to have been discharged at the Ceres Terminal. OTAL's moved its port operations in the Netherlands from Rotterdam to Amsterdam earlier in the year. The move has provided a number of key benefits to OTAL and its customers, including a direct service to the Amsterdam cocoa warehouses. Underdeck, these containers have the undoubted advantage of good ventilation and less risk of damage from condensation.
Exporters also have the choice of ventilated and dryvan containers.
OTAL also transport heavy-duty bulk bags. OTAL operates a range of transport services complementing its regular liner operations. These include West African terminal operations and liner agency services, customs clearance, cargo consolidation, airfreight handling, storage and warehousing, project logistics and trucking.
