Smart, smooth and sustainable.

Rotterdam Shortsea Terminals has progressed quickly since its change of ownership, with an increased focus on more customer-friendly and sustainable operations within the intra-European container market.

Times are challenging at the moment especially in the world of logistics and shipping. Worldwide shipping volumes and rates are at a long time low and discussions regarding energy transitions push all parties involved to take high impact decisions.

Decisions and investments which need a solid base and strong partnerships for the years to come. BG Freight Lines has been a loyal customer for over 15 years at RST. In these 15 years the business has changed significantly and our relationship with BG Freight Line has professionalized in many ways for instance by implementing smart IT solutions

At RST, we make every possible effort to optimally serve our customers, Whereby a safe working environment is of high importance for our employees and all visitors, such as transport companies, at our terminal.
