Seamark and Rotterdam Shortsea Terminals sign strategic partnership

After many years of running a full reefer service at RST we have decided to make the next step in digitalization and professionalism.

As per the 1st of June 2023 Seamark powered by the Kramer Group will take over the full RST reefer service supplying RST and our customers with a custom made and highly automated reefer operation on a 24/7 basis.

In the picture we see Seamark’s Managing Director Boudewijn Ligterink and RST’s CEO Arno Storm signing the contract and therewith sealing the deal after a period of planning and discussing all relevant details with the mutual project teams.

The common goal is to supply RST’s customers and reefer owners with the best possible reefer service as a terminal. In the weeks to come we will set-up communication towards all relevant stakeholders to overcome any difficulties while we roll out this important change. During a later stage of 2023 the new procedures related to value added services such as PTI’s and other reefer related maintenance and repair will be available as well and discussed where needed.

Both Seamark and RST will do all in their power to overcome any inefficiencies for customers and other stakeholders and aim for a general step forward in our overall terminal service.

RST is proud of its reefer team and what they have achieved over the last 20 years in relation to all of our reefer activities however with the high demand for 24/7 service and RST’s growing capacity demand we feel this is the time to take this important step into the future.

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.”
