Rotterdams ECT bans empties

As an alternative, it is offering users the possibility of warehousing containers at nearby off-dock facilities. Although no restrictions are being placed on imported laden boxes, these are also being moved off-dock if they are not collected within 14 days. Both the APM terminal in Rotterdam and stevedores at Hamburg have also placed limits on the movement of empty containers in order to reduce congestion following a significant upswing in traffic.
