Overdevest: ’Early delivery and avoid peak surcharge via new empty depot’
UWT-EUROMAX TO OPEN FROM MARCH 2024
The Rotterdam-based Waalhaven Group has started constructing an empty depot in the Maasvlakte port area. The UWT-Euromax (next to ECT’s Euromax terminal) has to be up and running from March 2024. Group director Jan Overdevest believes the Maasvlakte primarily offers opportunities for ‘early delivery’, meaning that full containers which are still at the depot can stay there for a short period in return for a different fee than applies at the deep sea terminal. As he explains, “This is also a way of avoiding the peak surcharge for trucks”.
