At PTC Groep, we understand that transport by water is often just one part of a larger logistical puzzle. That is why we offer additional transport: all services needed to complete your logistics chain. From pre- and onward transport to loading, unloading and multimodal solutions, we actively collaborate with you to ensure your cargo moves efficiently, safely and seamlessly from A to B.
Loading and Unloading
Although loading and unloading are not our core activities, we are happy to arrange them to fully unburden you. Is a waterside loading or unloading location unavailable? Then we will use our extensive network to find a suitable partner and the right solution.
Loading and unloading includes:
- Unloading goods at a suitable location
- Temporary storage on a secured site or in a warehouse
- Follow-up transport by truck, train or another vessel
Pre- and Onward Transport
Sometimes additional road transport is needed to get your goods to their final destination. Examples include:
- Pre-transport from loading site to inland vessel
- Onward transport from quay to final destination
Transshipment Between Vessels
When your cargo needs to be transferred from an inland vessel to a seagoing vessel, we bring in the right specialists. Thanks to our extensive network, we organise efficient transshipment and clear coordination between all parties. This keeps your logistics process running smoothly.
Multimodal Transport
In multimodal transport, your cargo is moved using multiple modes of transport, such as:
- Inland shipping
- Road transport
- Sea transport
- Rail
Together, we determine which combination best suits your schedule, destination and cost structure. Thanks to our network beyond inland shipping, we can provide insight into all available options.
Synchromodal Transport
When do we speak of synchromodal transport?
Synchromodal transport is a flexible form of multimodal transport in which the specific modes of transport do not matter. The best possible route and modality are chosen at that moment, based on what fits your logistics needs.
