A2B-online Container B.V. increases the number of sailings.

A2B-online is pleased to announce the expansion of her Rotterdam Botlek -Teesport service. From the 24th of January the frequency of this service will increase from 3 to 4 sailings per week.

EXPANSION LOGICAL STEP

After already successfully operating a LoLo container service between Rotterdam Botlek and Teesport since 2018, this expansion is a logical step. By adding an additional sailing, the total capacity on this route will grow to 40.000 containers a year which allows us to serve the increased demand of our large and loyal customer base.

PARTNERSHIPS CONTRIBUTE TO THIS EXPANSION

This expansion wouldn’t be possible without the good cooperation with our partners Broekman Distriport (Rotterdam Botlek) and PD Ports (Teesport) and their commitment to make this step forward. Additionally to the increased number of sailings, A2B-online is able, in cooperation with Broekman Distriport, to offer a cross dock service, giving the possibility to transship cargo from trailers into our 45ft HCPW containers for ongoing transport to the UK.

“Adding an additional sailing from our terminal in the Botlek is a further step in growing the business and in line with our strategic plan for developing the short sea business. In A2B-online we have found a reliable partner whose growth ambitions and business ethics fit in with ours!”

Mr. Rob van Dijk, Director Operations Broekman Logistics

OUR SERVICES MOERDIJK -TEESPORT

Transport to the UK during the summer of 2023?

Roadworks at Haringvlietbrug and Heinenoordtunnel During the months of June, July, and August 2023, maintenance will be carried out on the Haringvlietbrug and Heinenoordtunnel. During these works, the A29, which is an important access road to the Port of Rotterdam, will be closed. This will result in increased traffic pressure on other routes such as the A59, A17, and A16 towards Rotterdam during this period.

New trailers

Since this month, the good relationship with our customer Jiffy is also reflected in our 3 newest trailers with advertising for Jiffy Products International B.V. on the door. Our sales manager Sabrina Waterreus was present when the trailers were commissioned (on the photo with Peter van Dieën, Global Logistics Manager at Jiffy).

Sabrina was told by the forwarding office that the cooperation is very nice and that contact with our Customer Service is good and smooth. That makes us happy! Thanks to all our contacts at Jiffy and of course also to our own toppers of the CS team!

Thank you for the trust and the cooperation in 2022!

Our sales managers surprised many visited trailer and container customers this month with a huge Christmas stollen, a small token of appreciation for the trust and the pleasant cooperation in the past year. This thanks also applies to our partners, suppliers and other relations!
