UPDATE
General
Weather conditions last weekend
During last weekend, storm depression Amy hampered operations on ECT Delta and ECT Euromax terminal. ECT Delta terminal had to stop all operations from Saturday 14:00 hrs. till 19:00 hrs. and ECT Euromax terminal from Saturday 06:00 hrs. till 19:00 hrs. Productivity has been negatively influenced due to high winds around the stop phase and salvage works after the stop phase. Also, the services of nautical service providers and consequently the arrival and departure times of deepsea and feeder vessels were impacted by the storm. This had consequences for the berth planning and berth allocations on both terminals.
Dock lashers announce 48-hour strike in the Port of Rotterdam
Trade unions have called on dock lashers in the Port of Rotterdam to go on strike for 48 hours starting Wednesday, 8 October. The action follows ongoing negotiations over a new collective labour agreement, which have so far failed to reach a resolution. So far it is unknown what the impact will be on our operations.
ECT Delta terminal
Last week:
ECT Delta terminal had a full program with dual deepsea at the DDN and triple/quattro deepsea at the DDE. The container yard occupancy for reefers and dry containers was high but under control due to ongoing measures and monitoring. Landside truck handling was extremely busy due to high import volume concentrated in specific areas in the stack. Service times for barges and feeders were higher than standard.
This and coming week:
ECT Delta terminal will have a very busy program with dual deepsea at the DDN terminal and triple deepsea at the DDE terminal. The container yard occupancy for dry containers is high but under control due to ongoing measures and monitoring. Landside truck handling will be extremely busy due to high import volume concentrated in specific areas in the stack. Service times for barges and feeders will be higher than standard.
ECT Euromax terminal
Last week:
ECT Euromax terminal had a full program. The container yard occupancy for dry containers was extremely high but under control due to ongoing measures and monitoring. Service times for barges and feeders were higher than standard.
This and coming week:
ECT Euromax terminal will have dual deepsea alongside during the upcoming two weeks. The container yard occupancy for dry containers is high, and measures are in place to keep the situation manageable. A swift pick up of import containers will be highly appreciated. Service times for barges and feeders will be higher than standard.
