Unifeeder hurt by operational problems at the Rotterdam terminals
During the past weeks we have been facing serious operational delays at the terminals in Rotterdam, primarily at the ECT Delta. The delays are mainly due to adverse weather conditions but also due to congestion, irregular schedules of mainliner vessels and insufficient resources at the terminals, according to Unifeeder.
Unfortunately, this situation affects our entire network and causes delays, short shipments and changes to our schedules with short notice. Moreover, we are also facing additional costs as a result of our vessels laying idle in Rotterdam awaiting berth and operation, as well as overtime costs in the wayports.
We are doing our utmost to secure the best possible service under the given circumstances, however, as we have not been able to obtain a clear prospect for when the situation will be normalised at the terminals, we unfortunately foresee the present challenges to continue for a while to come.
Please contact your local Unifeeder office for specific information on how the operational situation at the Rotterdam terminals will affect our various services.
