Rotterdam port authorities take over container rail service
Goal is to boost service competitiveness and ensure further environmental sustainability.
AUTHORITIES at the Port of Rotterdam have decided to take over the operator of its rail service.
PortShuttle Rotterdam started operations back in 2015 linking up all container terminals at the port with a service five times a week along the Rail Service Centre Rotterdam network.
This service cuts expenses for the exchange of containers by up to 20% and provides an environmentally sustainable alternative to moving containers on trucks.
Port authorities decided to assume full control of the PortShuttle service due to uncertainties over the future of the operator.

鹿特丹港务局接管铁路集装箱业务
为提高服务竞争力并确保进一步的环境可持续性,鹿特丹港务局决定接管铁路集装箱业务。
PortShuttle Rotterdam公司于2015年开始运营,主要工作内容是将鹿特丹港口所有集装箱码头与铁路服务中心网络相连接。
这项服务可将集装箱交换费用降低20%,并为汽车集装箱运输提供环保且可持续的替代方案。
由于运营商未来的不确定性,港口当局决定完全控制PortShuttle公司的服务,并且维持利率与原服务内容不变。
