Dutch ambassador proud of Rotterdam port

Austria and the Netherlands: two important trading partners. A lot of business is done between the two countries, and all these imports and exports can be handled, stored, put through and shipped in and via the port of Rotterdam. While the port of Rotterdam has a lot to offer, it does face stiff competition from rival ports Koper and Hamburg. The Dutch ambassador to Austria, Marco Hennis, is proud of the port of Rotterdam. Mr Hennis will be bringing Austrian logistics service providers and shippers in contact with delegates of Rotterdam’s port and logistics sectors, during a networking reception at the Dutch residence in Vienna.

Austria’s primary export products are iron and steel, clothing, textile products, machinery, electric power, wood, cattle and paper. In turn, the Austrians mainly import machinery and tools, vehicles, food, mineral fuels, intermediate goods and raw materials. Although the Rotterdam delegates look forward to explaining in person which opportunities their port offers during the network reception, actually, everyone involved can already get in contact with one another online. Over 500 service providers from the ports of Rotterdam, Moerdijk and Dordrecht can be found on the innovative website Rotterdam Port Connector, where companies can easily get an answer to any logistics inquiries they may have.

The ambassador’s networking reception, which will be taking place tomorrow, is part of a trip organised by a delegation from Rotterdam’s port and logistics sectors. The reception will be followed by a Seminar & Business Event organised by Rotterdam Port Promotion Council and the Port of Rotterdam Authority. Around 150 local representatives have registered for this event. On Thursday, the delegation will travel on to Linz, where the Rotterdam Representative Franz Zauner has organised a client reception together with the terminal in Linz.
