H.Essers Recorded: Inside our new Bergen op Zoom container terminal with Mikaël Hagedoren

Supply chains today require more flexibility than ever. Growing congestion in major seaports and increasing pressure on road transport are driving the need for smarter, more connected logistics solutions. That’s why H.Essers continues to invest in synchromodality.

In this episode of H.Essers Recorded, Mikaël Hagedoren, Business Unit Manager Netherlands, takes us inside our newly opened container terminal in Bergen op Zoom. Strategically located between the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp-Bruges, the terminal serves as a key hub within our European network and significantly expands our handling capacity.

But this investment is about more than scale. The terminal enables customers to seamlessly combine inland waterways, road transport, warehousing and value-added logistics services in one integrated solution. As an extended gateway into Europe, it helps reduce congestion in seaports while improving flexibility and efficiency throughout the supply chain.

The terminal also strengthens our sustainability ambitions. By increasing the use of inland waterways, we can reduce truck movements on European roads and offer customers a future-proof alternative for moving goods across the continent.

Our goal: creating smarter, more resilient and more sustainable supply chains through integrated logistics solutions.
