Our Daily Process: From Sea Container to End User

Day to day we put our expertise to work in the Port of Moerdijk. Ferliner’s crossdocking system for seacontainers is set up to discharge the cargo quickly, efficiently, and safely. With our own terminal tractors, experienced drivers, and a streamlined logistics chain, we ensure that units move smoothly from the quay to our warehouse without delays.

1. Sea Container Import & Transport

The moment the units arrives in Moerdijk, we are ready. Our terminal tractors directly report, pick up the containers from the terminal and deliver them to our warehouse. This direct approach saves time, reduces waiting periods, and keeps us in full control of the process.

2. Container Stripping

In our modern warehouse, each container is carefully unloaded (stripped). Our team inspects the cargo, records quantities, and ensures goods are safely transferred. This can be for temporary storage or direct transfer to the next stage in the supply chain.

3. Customs Clearance

Customs formalities are part of every import shipment. We handle the complete customs clearance or transit – from import declarations to the release of goods—ensuring everything complies with legal requirements so your shipment can proceed without unnecessary delays.

4. Inventory Management & Storage

Our inventory administration is fully automated. Goods are registered in our system immediately, giving clients real-time insight into their stock levels. We offer both short-term storage for quick transshipment and longer-term storage for strategic inventory.

5. Distribution to the End User

From our warehouse, we organise onward transport with our own fleet of tautliner trailers to the end users. Thanks to our central location in Moerdijk and our network of reliable carriers, we can deliver quickly and flexibly throughout Europe and beyond.
