Barge Terminal Tilburg, Combined Cargo Terminals, Moerdijk Container Terminals and Danser Group have joined forces, agreeing to combine cargo along the route between Tilburg, Moerdijk and the port of Rotterdam.

Last year the Antwerp Port Authority carried out a strategic hinterland analysis with a view to improving the port’s intermodal presence, which is currently sub-optimum. A call for project proposals was issued to the extended port community, with external parties being able to propose new or improved rail and/or barge connections for better access to the network of inland terminals in South-East Netherlands. In this way the Port Authority seeks to further improve the port’s access to its core hinterland. From the proposals submitted, two projects were selected: Danser Group in collaboration with BCTN, and Oosterhout Container Terminal in collaboration with its partners Brabant Intermodal, Markiezaat Container Terminal and Pro-log. Both projects started mid May 2014.
