Shortsea
Efficient connection to the United Kingdom
From our inland terminal in Beverwijk we operate daily barge connections to Rotterdam, with onward shortsea links to the United Kingdom. Via partner A2B-online we also provide reliable shortsea departures from Moerdijk.
Moerdijk is strategically positioned relative to Rotterdam and Antwerp. Routing shortsea via Moerdijk avoids the congested road network — delivering lower costs, faster transit times and measurable CO2 reduction. This makes shortsea a key component of any green supply chain strategy for UK-bound freight.
Terminal Moerdijk functions as a multimodal crossroads. Schavemaker offers the unique ability to move goods by rail freight, inland waterway and shortsea — all within our own network across Europe.
