Tjonger Vastgoed owns and operates six port areas of approx. 90,000 m2 with offices, sheds and quays in Waalhavengebied in Rotterdam. In 2012 this participation was sold to UWT Holding. UWT is the biggest container depot in Rotterdam harbour. Thereby UWT will be able to improve strongly the accessibility of the depots by road and over water and will create more space for CFS activities. The presence of quays and empty containers of almost all shipowners in the immediate vicinity make it technically and economically possible to transfer completely to inland shipping for the supply and removal of containers. UWT thinks it will be able to make a major contribution to reducing congestion on the A15.
