History

In 1982, ECT started using the Venlo rail terminal as a collection and distribution point for container cargo to and from Germany and the rest of Europe. ECT had a dynamic strategy together with Seacon Logistics to maintain Rotterdam's competitive position. The barge terminal was opened in 2010. Both terminals are still part of ECT's own inland terminals and the Hutchison Ports Europe Intermodal.
