    Port of Rotterdam infrastructure

    Port of Rotterdam positions itself as a ‘port developer’ with an active


    involvement in the port. The port authority invests substantially in public and
    customer specific infrastructure. Furthermore, the port authority invests
    substantially in other activities that have benefits for the port community, such as
    ICT infrastructure (through the establishment of Port base, a subsidiary of the
    port authorities of Rotterdam and Amsterdam), and port marketing

    Competitive advantages
    the port of Rotterdam is located at the junction of the Rhine and Meuse river
    estuaries, connected to the North Sea to the west, and Rhine and Danube to the
    east. It is also close to the world's busiest Dover Strait. It is the western European
    waterway traffic hub and the cargo distribution center of the Netherlands and the
    European Union. The crude oil, petroleum products, coal to western European
    countries, and are therefore known as the “European Gateway”. With its strategic
    location, the Port of Rotterdam has always maintained its status as a world port.

    Technology in strengthening Rotterdam’s competitive position


    Rotterdam is considered as the biggest Port in Europe, has access to more than
    500 million people within 24 hours. Standing on the brink of a new industrial
    revolution, a new “digital” landscape is being created. Advancements in robotics
    as well as in operational technology are becoming critical differentiators for the
    gateways of ocean cargo. At the same time, automation takes place in more and
    more port terminals in order to achieve higher levels of efficiency and
    productivity. Digitalization is a new era, where everyone is involved and
    interconnected with the supply chain in real time.
    Smart-port
    Smart-port technologies are systems supporting the existing infrastructure of the
    port. These can be tools for traffic management, monitoring energy efficiency as
    well as for cargo handling. To begin with, the infrastructure of every port is crucial
    for the safety of the employees but also for the continues loading and unloading
    of cargo. Sensors along the port and more specifically in walls, rails, roads can
    transmit important information is in real time which will help both terminal
    operator sand port authorities for the maintenance of the facilities infrastructure.
    This will reduce the annual inspections and be much more cost efficient.
    Furthermore, monitoring systems, cranes and other gears that handle cargo can
    operate in maximum if they are well maintained. This will also boost productivity
    and increase the total volume of cargos that can be handled.

    Main issue with Shipping companies at Port of Rotterdam


    Shipping companies at Port of Rotterdam ‘not prioritize Britain’ as UK battles
    supply chain crisis port of Rotterdam still need 100,000 extra truck drivers in the
    UK, which is not the case in the rest of Europe, and this is not going to be solved
    overnight Britain may be facing an unprecedented supply chain crisis affecting
    fuel, food and other essentials, but across the Channel, traders and shipping
    companies are in no rush to prioritize the UK market. In the Port of Rotterdam,
    Europe’s largest seaport, Britain is seen as just one of the hundreds of markets
    expecting shipments amid a global supply chain crunch that has impacted trade
    around the world. The port is urging shippers to ensure cargo is carried by them
    in both directions, which is much harder for British ports, as they export far fewer
    goods than they import. “Ever since Covid hit the global supply chain, there has
    been a geographical imbalance between empty containers and fully loaded
    containers.
