P&O FERRYMASTERS today announces the opening of a 17,000 square meter state-of-the-art warehousing facility in Europoort (Rotterdam) to support its trans-Continental operations. The 10-year contract for the additional facilities will significantly expand the warehousing storage capacity of P&O Ferrymasters at Rotterdam, allowing its customers new storage opportunities and flexibility at one of the business transport hubs of Europe.
The warehouse, which consists of two 7,500 square meter levels, will become operational next month and has close proximity to both the Maasvlakte 2 area in Rotterdam and the Europoort ferry terminal, making it ideally positioned to accommodate the import and export of goods requiring storage for routes on the deep sea, short sea and North Sea. P&O Ferrymasters is equipping the new facility with 16 loading docks and proven warehouse management systems to ensure its customers immediately receive the benefit of extra storage capacity in their end-to-end supply chain solutions.
Mark Mulder, P&O Ferrymasters’ Contract Logistics Director, said: “This new warehouse capacity at Rotterdam marks an important step in our plans to enable trade flows across Europe.”
“This new facility will provide the operational flexibility and capacity our customers need to ensure their supply chains are becoming even more efficient and effective with direct access to a central hub linking rail, road, inland barging, deep sea and short sea.”
