Why Metaal Transport?

What makes Rotterdam The Biggest Port in Europe? Why would you go for The Port of Rotterdam?

The Netherlands has been a trading nation for over 4 centuries. We are known for our open-economy, well educated workforce, and entrepreneurial spirit. According to the World Economic Forum (2018), The Port of Rotterdam is the biggest port of Europe and has the best port logistics infrastructure in the world. The docks have direct access to sea, and from pilot to berth, it only takes 2.5 hours. Apart from its size and excellent infrastructure, the port offers swift customs clearance by using a centralised IT-system. Finally, Rotterdam also offers a large number of deepsea and hinterland connections by road, rail, and barge. Rotterdam can make it all happen!

So now that it is clear that Rotterdam is the #1 gateway for your metal logistics into Europe and the rest of the world – Why would you go for us?

Physical storage, shipping, stevedoring, stuffing, and stripping are all handled by Metaal Transport in a single, integrated service. In addition, we handle administrative tasks like clearing VAT-representation and provide bonded warehousing services as customs brokers.
