Port of Rotterdam launches navigation tool

The Port of Rotterdam Authority has launched an online route planner, providing information on available connections to hinterland destinations via sea, rail or barge.

The beta version of the platform, named Navigate, contains deep-sea and short-sea schedules connecting to 550 ports worldwide as well as rail and barge connections between Rotterdam and more than 150 European inland terminals.

Emile Hoogsteden, director of containers, breakbulk and logistics at the Port of Rotterdam Authority, said the tool is “the most comprehensive route planner of its kind, enabling users to find an efficient route from A to B via Rotterdam in just a few mouse clicks”.
