At Van der Vlist, we understand that many of our customers make use of overseas production. That’s why we’ve invested in a terminal that not only meets today’s logistical demands but anticipates tomorrow’s. Our new Moerdijk terminal, operational since early this year, is a cornerstone of our commitment to smarter, greener logistic flows.

Strategically located, the Moerdijk terminal serves as a vital interchange in our Blue Road philosophy — our initiative to prioritize inland waterway transport via the Rhine and Danube. This approach reduces road congestion and lowers emissions. By also being directly connected to both the European rail and road networks, our trimodal strategy comes to life:

• Waterways for longer-distance, sustainable bulk transport

• Rail for high-capacity inland distribution

• Road for flexible, last-mile delivery

For every project, our team provides tailored advice on the most efficient and sustainable routes, helping you choose the right combination of modalities to meet your goals. Whether you require the transport of oversized cargo or the coordination of international supply chains, Van der Vlist is your partner in progress.
