New heavylift warehouse on river Rhine

As the operator of the Krefeld heavylift and bulk terminal, we did expand our capabilities on river Rhine. From January 2015 we have expanded our range of services, in addition to port operations and an open-air storage area, with a 4,000 square metre warehouse and assembly hall.

Two combinable overhead cranes will be available for the handling of components up to 400 tons. With a height of about 19 metres and connections to rail, road and water the new warehouse offers even better options for the storage, handling and assembly of heavy goods in the future.

In addition, the extension of the existing open-air storage and handling areas to approximately 40,000 square metres ma- kes the terminal even better adapted for the requirements of the industry. Furthermore, this unique heavy goods terminal on the left bank of the Rhine also benefits from ISPS ac- creditation and our employees‘ corresponding qualifications. The facility thus guarantees compliance with the security provisions in the supply chain – as issued by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and the European Union (EU).
