Reliable and Sustainable Container Transport via Inland Waterways

From Port to Destination Across Europe

Container Terminal Doesburg provides container transport via inland waterways for companies in the Netherlands and Europe. From our container terminal in Gelderland, our specialists connect seaports with regional and international destinations via efficient and sustainable transport by water. In this way, we offer a reliable alternative to road transport within multimodal logistics chains.

Sustainable Container Transport

Inland Shipping

Inland shipping forms the basis of our container transport and offers a sustainable alternative to road transport. By transporting containers by water as much as possible, we achieve a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions and reduce pressure on the road network, without compromising on reliability.

Full-service Container Terminal

As a full-service container terminal, CTD offers more than just container transport via inland waterways. We provide transshipment, storage, and additional logistics services, ensuring that container flows are handled efficiently and in an integrated manner within a single logistics chain.

Strategic Hub in the Gelderland Corridor

Container Terminal Doesburg is strategically located in the Gelderland Corridor on the IJssel river and close to major highways such as the A348, A12, and A50. This makes our container terminal an important hub between seaports, the hinterland, and regional businesses. This location enables efficient container connections to both national and international destinations.

ATAG Kitchens: a Successful Partnership with CTD

“Thanks to the cooperation with CTD, ATAG Keukens has not only optimised its container logistics, but also realised a more sustainable approach in our logistics chain. CTD unburdens us with efficient and sustainable container transport and the management of complex logistics.

This allows us to concentrate on our craftsmanship. This leads to improved customer satisfaction and strengthens our position in the kitchen industry. We are very satisfied with CTD’s professional and sustainable approach as our strategic partner in container logistics.””

Optimal Transport Process

The transport process at Container Terminal Doesburg is designed for efficiency and reliability. Through fixed sailing schedules, smart planning, and close coordination with customers and chain partners, we ensure a predictable flow of containers from seaport to final destination.

We maintain continuous control over the logistics chain throughout the process. Thanks to short lines of communication and a comprehensive overview, we can respond quickly and limit delays, ensuring that containers are transported safely and on time.

How Do We Ensure Quality?

At Container Terminal Doesburg, important steps are taken to ensure the quality of container transport:

Latest Fuel Engines and E-trucks: our trucks are equipped with the latest fuel engines or we use e-trucks, ensuring efficient and environmentally conscious transport.

Shore Power: we offer shore power for ships docking at the terminal, reducing emissions and contributing to a cleaner environment.

Reefer Connections on the Quay: for temperature-sensitive goods, the terminal offers reefer connections on the quay so that goods are transported under optimal conditions.

Value-Added Logistics (VAL): our terminal also offers Value-Added Logistics (VAL) where logistics processes are optimised, such as temporary storage.

Our Barges

CTD uses modern inland vessels, Initio and Zeldenrust, with a high loading capacity. These vessels ensure efficient container transport by water and contribute to lower emissions per container transported.

The Initio has a capacity of 120 TEU on four layers and measures 86 x 10.50 meters, with a total weight of 1,793 tons. The ship is captained by experienced skippers Harry and Evert Jan van Utrecht.

The Zeldenrust can carry up to 144 TEU on four layers and has a loading capacity of 2,407 tons. The ship measures 86 x 11.4 meters and, like De Intio, is managed by the Van Utrecht family.
