Rotterdam is cool
The container terminals in the Port of Rotterdam together have 12,000 connections for reefer containers. This is more than twice as many as the number two in the Hamburg-Le Havre Range. Also compared to the larger container ports in Asia, Rotterdam takes one of the top positions. PSA Singapore for instance has 7,000 connections for a total throughput of 29 million TEU (2011).By far the largest number of reefer points, almost 11,000, can be found at the six main sea terminals. The other 1,000 are distributed over specialised inland shipping terminals (300) and depots for container storage (800).Sea terminalsAbout 70% of the connections at the sea terminals are concentrated at the three terminals on the Maasvlakte, although the two deep-sea terminals in the Waal/Eemhaven area have relatively more connections. The ranking for total capacity/connections is as follows:
Terminal Connections Total capacity (TEU/year)1. ECT City 1359 1,100,0002. Uniport Multipurpose 1250 1,200.0003. Euromax 2136 2,300,0004. APMT Rotterdam 2250 2,700,0005. ECT Delta 3250 5,000,0006. RST 640 1,440,000
Most of the services that call in at ECT City and Uniport terminals arrive from Latin-America, South and West Africa, Oceania and Iceland/Norway. These are the source areas for meat, fish and fruit; by far the most important products for reefer containers.
