New customer Eimskip adds new connections to RST network

We are proud to announce that on Sunday the 5th of November next we will be discharging the first of many future vessels for our new customer, shipping company and global forwarder Eimskip.

With the introduction of Eimskip to our customer base we will be adding a wide array of services and ports to our ever-growing network.

Eimskip is an international transport company with headquarters in Iceland who will offer direct weekly line service connections to Reykjavik, Grundartangi, Torshavn, Fredrikstad, Immingham, Bremerhaven and Vestmannaeyjar. Besides this a range of North American and Canadian ports are called via Eimskip’s own network.

Customer service and schedule reliability is key according to Eimskips local operations manager Peter Schouten. “We offer services towards high demanding markets in industry and niches like fresh fish where being on time is key” he says.

We are very proud to have won Eimskip as a customer according to RST’s CCO Jeroen Zwijnenburg. “With Eimskip we have gained an important strategic partner for the future creating new opportunities for all involved”.

Over the past months a mutual team has been preparing for this important step for both Eimskip and RST.  Next Sunday, the discharge of vessel Jonni Ritscher marks the first official act of this new partnership and all the preparations that have been done.

RST would like to thank Eimskip for their trust in choosing RST as their new terminal service provider for many years to come. We look forward and are driven to make this a mutual success.

Every child deserves a chance at a bright future

“Every child deserves a chance at a bright future”
Partnership RST and Giovanni van Bronckhorst Foundation

Empowering children who lack opportunities so they can become ‘leaders of their own futures’. That is what the Giovanni van Bronckhorst Foundation (GvBF) is all about, and it is the main reason why RST has become a ‘friend’ of this foundation. In this article, Jacqueline Jonkhart (GvBF) and Jeroen Hooft (RST) share their views. “We want to build a sustainable relationship and provide a safety net of companies where they are welcome.”

It all started with Feyenoord legend Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Jacqueline explains: “GvBF was created to address the lack of opportunities for many children in Rotterdam. Giovanni, who experienced limited resources as a little boy, understands the importance of support and opportunities like no one else. He has always remained aware that it was not just his amazing talent, but also the people around him who provided him with the opportunity to build a bright future. So, for him and his wife, it was a no-brainer that every child deserves such a chance, and society must support these children. That is why they founded GvBF in 2012. The foundation helps children develop their potential and gain essential skills and confidence to achieve their goals.”

Our first family festival was a great success

On the 22 of September last we head the pleasure to welcome colleagues, friends and families and host the first RST family festival event. 

A day where proud colleagues had the opportunity to share great food and drinks with the loved ones and show them around at our terminal location in the Rotterdam Eemhaven area.  A great opportunity for all to showoff the important terminal hub that RST is and which they call there workplace 24 hours per day 365 days per week.
