About Rotterdam Port – The Sai Deepa Stock Point for Europe

It is the most efficient system of providing “On-time” delivery in the entire Europe. Sai Deepa has the primary stocking centre for Europe in Rotterdam. This article covers some important facts about Rotterdam Port & its connectivity to Europe.

Why Rotterdam ???

In 2019, Rotterdam was the world's 10^th largest container port in terms of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) handled. The Port Authority at the Port of Rotterdam uses the Internet of Things, a cloud-based platform, to collect and process data from sensors around the port.

Much of the container loading and stacking in the port is handled by autonomous robotic cranes and computer-controlled chariots. The chariots—or automated guided vehicles (AGV)—are unmanned and each carries one container. The chariots navigate their own way around the terminal with the help of a magnetic grid built into the terminal tarmac. Once a container is loaded onto an AGV, it is identified by infrared "eyes" and delivered to its designated place within the terminal.

Unmanned Automated Stacking Cranes (ASC) take containers to/from the AGVs and store them in the stacking yard. The newer Euromax terminal implements an evolution of this design that eliminates the use of straddle carriers for the land-side operations. (Wikipedia).

On their official website, the Rotterdam Port Authorities write - The port of Rotterdam is a global hub for international trade. We believe it is therefore important to be globally represented. Outside of the Netherlands, the Port of Rotterdam Authority has representatives in important growth regions like Germany, Austria, China, Indonesia, India and Russia. During the COVID-19 pandemic our representatives wrote their personal column on the business climate in their home countries and their expectations for the future. It also has a well-connected Rail network.
