Samskip Crossdock: Crossing old boundaries
In 2018 Samskip launched a new service to and from Amsterdam that contributed to the overall container business of Port of Amsterdam, which achieved a new transshipment record in 2018 totaling 82.3 million tons.
The service evolved into a flourishing operation for the TMA terminal in Amsterdam as well. Benefiting of
the space availability for third parties and being in contact with many hauliers that are going empty back to
Amsterdam, Samskip identified new business opportunities related to the Crossdock facility at the terminal in
Amsterdam, located next to the rail track and the quay.
