A multimodal logistic centre
that opens the doors to Europe
Just 15 km from open sea and on the doorstep of Europe,
our Distriport Logistics Centre couldn’t be better situated.
Connected to the rest of the continent by rail, road and barge,
its location gives you great access to a huge market. Add to that
our excellent contacts, local market knowledge and forwarding &
distribution services, and you can see why Broekman makes an
ideal partner for breaking into or expanding your presence
in Europe.
Facilities fit for 21st century
steel logistics
The facilities at Distriport are quite extraordinary. In fact, it’s the
only terminal in the Port of Rotterdam that offers year-round,
all-weather stevedoring for steel and metals, which removes the
risk of climate damage to cargo. Its efficient overhead crane system
facilitates high productivity figures and fast reloading onto truck,
rail or barge, while our Warehouse Management System eliminates
the need for sorting. Moreover, the terminal is connected directly
to a humidity-controlled warehouse, offering cargo additional
protection from rust and discolouration. Our special equipment
is the reason we have the lowest damage rate in the
Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp region.
Keeping service levels to
the highest standards
Broekman’s infrastructure and amenities are advanced,
but service levels are of an equally high standard. Effective risk
management helps uphold that quality. It involves continuously
improving three major areas:
Safety: ensuring the safety at all times of all those
working throughout the logistics chain
Quality: ensuring cargo leaves Distriport in the same
state it arrived in
Productivity: ensuring vessels are loaded and unloaded
as efficiently and quickly as possible
Promoting best practices with
a highly trained workforce
Improvements in safety, quality and productivity could not
be done without skilled personnel. By keeping pace with the
complexities of the market and meeting all statutory and
regulatory requirements, our staff make certain that Broekman
adheres to best practices. Our clients especially appreciate
their collective expertise in safeguarding the flexibility of our
services. After all, no two steel shipments are alike.
Integrating with your
business operations
Our clients enjoy access to real-time data seven days a week.
The user-friendly interfaces of our industry-specific IT platform
provide information at the click of a button, whether its order
status, stock levels or delivery dates. They also enable services
to be integrated with clients’ operations and direct contact to be
maintained at all levels. This gives you maximum flexibility and
leaves you in control.
