Our comprehensive intermodal transport solutions—by road, rail, and water—are designed to meet the diverse needs of our clients, ensuring seamless and efficient logistics operations.

By Road: Swift and Direct Delivery

Transporting goods by truck remains one of the most efficient ways to move cargo over short distances. Our road transport services at Metaal Transport ensure that your goods are delivered directly to your doorstep, regardless of location or time constraints. With our extensive availability of vehicles, we can handle everything from pallets and big bags to bundles and coils of all materials and shapes. Whether your cargo needs to stay within the Rotterdam region, reach other parts of the Netherlands, or cross international borders, our road transport solutions guarantee timely and reliable deliveries.

By Rail: Connecting Europe Quickly

Rail transport is an integral part of our intermodal solutions. Every week, over 400 international container rail services operate to and from the port of Rotterdam. In addition to containers, we manage daily block train services for both liquid and dry bulk goods. The efficiency of rail transport is unmatched; freight can cross the German border in just 3 hours and reach many European destinations within 24 hours. With a wide range of handling facilities available, we ensure that every type of cargo can be efficiently processed and transported via rail.

By Water: Navigating Europe’s Waterways

The Port of Rotterdam’s strategic location makes it an ideal hub for inland shipping. Our water transport services leverage the extensive network of European rivers, including the Maas and Rhine, to ensure quick access to various destinations. The Main and Danube rivers extend our reach even further, enabling transport to the Black Sea. With our advanced facilities and expertise, we manage the seamless movement of goods by barge, ensuring safe and efficient transport.
