A new warehouse site in Rotterdam, uniquely located within APM Terminals' facility at Maasvlakte II, is set to make tremendous advances for the global trade community.

The new cross-dock warehouse is being built at the APM Terminal facility at Maasvlakte II within the Port of Rotterdam. The port is located at the mouth of the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt River delta, making it a natural gateway to and from Europe. This gateway links to extensive road, rail and inland waterway connections deep into the European hinterland. With the advanced infrastructure in place for various modes of transportation, including container terminals, bulk terminals and specialised facilities for handling different types of cargo, the port can adapt and meet the needs of ambitious customers.

The port has adopted several digital solutions that improve the speed and reliability of cargo handling. It includes cargo tracking and automation, with its size and advancements enabling the port to offer economies of scale for shipping lines and logistics companies. 

With the location of the cross-dock warehouse facility set, development is well underway, and the warehouse will be open for business from early 2024. 

The unique setup of the warehouse further increases Maersk's overview of the complete supply chain and the customer's potential to respond and direct the flow of their supply chain. 

Visibility, direct control, and the incoming refrigerated storage capacity will mean businesses save time and money and achieve never-seen-before logistical advantages.
