Yesterday, with the landing place of portacontainer CMA CGM Sambhar, Terminal of the port of Rotterdam is finished to the activity to City as the terminalista group Europe Container Terminals (ECT) has definitively transferred entirely own operations of drainage, cargo and handling of the container in the others two terminal Delta Terminal and Euromax situated Rotterdam Terminals in the area Maasvlakte II of the Dutch harbour port of call.
ECT has operated to City Terminal in order almost 50 years: the first ship, the Atlantic Span, in fact is landed on August 31, 1967. "The closing of City Terminal of ECT - the managing director of the terminalista group has confirmed, Leo Ruijs - sanctions the end of an era. Here ECT, as pioneer in the field of handling of the container, has made the history. Here - it has added - it is the place is begun and the traffic of the container to Rotterdam has been developed. From the beginning the increase has been always the main point of reference".
"In the course of the time - it has continued Ruijs - the dimensions of the ships have grown and this trend is still in action ECT always has moved in order to grow hand in hand and is therefore already operating to the Maasvlakte until from the Eighties. In the light of these developments - it has emphasized the CEO of Europe Terminals Container - the transfer of remaining ours activity from the city area to the Maasvlakte is completely logical. More and more large ships demand ports with more and more deep backdrops and more modern structures. In the Delta Terminal and Euromax Rotterdam Terminal of ECT, situated directly on the Sea of the North, we are able to answer to the question and we are constantly investing. Thanks to the combination of innovation and performance - it has concluded - in future ECT will continue to primeggiare".
