If there was ever a single organisation that could claim to embody the Coastlink mission, then Routescanner would be a clear contender.
As the digital logistics platform’s Director of Supply, Rob Tonissen is perfectly placed to highlight how Routescanner delivers optimal multimodal container transport solutions by sea, inland waterway, rail and road.
Scheduled to speak at the 25th Coastlink Conference in Rotterdam next year, Tonissen will be able to detail how Routescanner collects schedule data from over 280 operators across deep sea, short sea, rail, barge and road, and presents door-to-door options that compare transit times, frequencies, reliability, CO₂ emissions and more.
A seasoned professional at the crossroads of digital innovation and container logistics, Tonissen had nine years of carrier experience at CMA-CGM before playing a pivotal role in driving digital initiatives forward at Routescanner, originally a subsidiary of the Port of Rotterdam.
In May 2026 Routescanner became part of Royal Dirkzwager, itself with extensive expertise in the field of maritime data and digital platforms, including Ship2Port.
The combination of Ship2Port’s real-time insights into ship movements, port calls and operational planning in ports, and Routescanner’s added layer of planning and optimised transport, will collectively deliver benefits across the board.
