The Dutch Transport Ministry and the Port of Rotterdam Authority (PoRA) have signed an agreement that will bring a Container Transferium (CT) to the town of Alblasserdam, east of Rotterdam.
The 'Binnenlandse Container Terminals Nederland' (BCTN) will operate the terminal.
Total costs for acquiring the land, a special berthing area and the superstructure are estimated €38 million. It is planned to open by the end of 2011.
It is predicted that within three years the transferium should draw 200,000 TEU from the road to water. This equals some 10 percent of the number of container trucks on the A15 motorway. = |
