DFDS Multi Terminal, Maasvlakte - Rotterdam
The DFDS Multi Terminal opened in May 2003 and is located in the Europa harbour on the new port area called Maasvlakte in Rotterdam. This location on the coast saves ships the long trip on the river and enables the terminal to handle even the largest ships.

DFDS Multi Terminal specializes in the handling of Break-Bulk, Ro-Ro ships of all types, as well as barges and containerships, especially for the short sea, as well as freight trains.
The terminal is located between the large containers terminals, such as APM Terminals, the ECT Delta terminal, which handles Evergreen, Hanjin and Hapag-Lloyd, and the new Euromax Terminal.
Ro-Ro ramps
At present the terminal has two floating ro-ro ramps the FOREST BRIDGE and the FUTURE BRIDGE, but further expansion up to four ro-ro ramps is possible.
The FOREST BRIDGE is located alongside the quay wall, which allows ro-ro ships with stern ramps to use their ramps and to load/discharge by the crane at the same time. The second ramp, FUTURE BRIDGE, located at the East side of the terminal, has been especially designed for long and heavy loads of up to 250 tons.
Stevedoring and cargo handling equipment
The terminal has a large number of specialized handling equipment for ro-ro stevedoring, including reach stackers, forklifts, tug masters, etc.
The two cranes have a capacity up to 100 tons each (150 tons combined) and twin spreaders with a capacity of up to 41 tons on one container or 2 x 32.5 tons on two 20-foot containers.
Special equipment enables the safe and swift handling of many types of break-bulk conventional cargo.
Warehouse storage and logistics services
The terminal also provides storage (two covered sheds, each with a capacity of 2500m² and a larger paper & steel warehouse of 10,000 m²) as well as distribution and logistical services.
Video controlled access
The four video controlled entrance lanes on the terminal are connected to a modern terminal management and cargo control system.
