ENGINEERINGNET.EU -- InlandLinks is the Dutch quality mark of and platform for container terminals in the hinterland of the Rotterdam port, via a specialized website (see below) offering insight into the whole intermodal service package right up to the terminal level.

Rotterdam expects to see container flows triple in the next 25 years. Due to the growth in world trade, the favourable geographic location and the increase in very large container ships, each with a capacity in the region of 20,000 units.

Of the total 30 million TEU handled in 2035, 12 million are expected to be shipped in and out using smaller vessels from and to European ports.

Some 18 million TEU will travel to and from the hinterland via intermodal transport. For this flow, InlandLinks should provide better and more sustainable connections.
