Imports of fruit will now move within the Rotterdam port area on barges instead of freight lorries. Research showed that inland barges would deliver fruit to the distribution warehouses as quickly as lorries, and at lower or equal cost. Importers expect to move 50% of their volume in this way.

The fruit transported by inland shipping will transfer to lorries for further distribution outside of the port zone.
