Barge
Service: Rotterdam to Antwerp
----------------------------------------------------------------------
At the present time, OTAL does not have direct calls in Rotterdam, having
switched its Dutch calls some to Amsterdam. Therefore we are now able to offer
customers a new barge link between the port of Rotterdam to Antwerp .
The HT Holland barge terminal is a smaller dedicated facility
which will allow OTAL to offer a regular and reliable daily barging service
between Rotterdam and Antwerp with a sailing time of 10 hrs.
The HT Holland terminal is located at Seinehaven in the Botlek
area of the port. It is easily accessible by road too and offers stuffing and
stripping facilities
as well as storage facilities for hazardous cargo.
Covering 102,000m2 and with
a quay length of 300 meters, it has a capacity of 150,000 containers per
year.
