MENU Container transhipment in the port for sustainable transport March 15, 2018 BCTN from Nijmegen and Vos transport from Deventer will jointly build and operate a container transshipment facility in the port of Deventer. The container transhipment is expected to be put into operation in 2020. Deventer port city: One of the largest inland ports in the Netherlands will accelerate in the port. With the establishment of a container transhipment facility, the municipality is giving an impulse to sustainable transport, together with companies from the region and two provinces. BCTN and Vos transport signed a letter of intent with the municipality on 12 March. Vaart in de haven Een containeroverslag past in de ambitie van de gemeente om meer vaart in de haven te krijgen. De overslag is belangrijk voor bedrijven uit de regio in een straal van ongeveer 30 kilometer. Beide bedrijven hebben duurzame ambities. Zo laat BCTN twee schepen bouwen met een volledig elektrische aandrijving. Voor en na transport liefst elektrisch Vos behoort in ons land tot de top van bedrijven die duurzaam ondernemen en heeft onlangs hiervoor de 2de Lean and Green Star ontvangen. Vos onderzoekt de mogelijkheden om het voor en na transport elektrisch te gaan verzorgen. Important location factor Alderman Frits Rorink: “Water transport is more sustainable than road transport. One container ship considerably reduces the number of kilometers by road. It is also an important location factor for companies, also for business park A1.” Line connection with Rotterdam and Antwerp Transport by ship is cheaper than by road. Deventer will be BCTN's ninth location. The container transshipment will be part of a line connection with Rotterdam and Antwerp. Vos transport will take care of the transport to and from the terminal. The container transhipment will be on the site where the Circulus-Berkel recycle square is now located. That's moving.
