Terminal Handling & Storage

Manage vehicle volumes with substantial covered storage, clear cargo segregation and terminal processes designed around condition, dwell and release requirements.

Storage capacity only creates value when cargo remains visible, protected and ready for the next movement. We plan the terminal flow around arrival mode, customer program, vehicle status, processing requirements, dwell profile and release priority.

This allows recurring and project-based volumes to be received, separated, repositioned and dispatched according to an agreed operating logic.

• Cargo receipt – planned intake from vessel, truck, rail or shortsea connection.
• Yard and warehouse allocation – designated areas based on customer, cargo status and required protection.
• Indoor and outdoor storage – flexible options for different vehicle and cargo requirements.
• Internal movements – controlled transfer between storage, processing, staging and release areas.
• Inventory and status reporting – reporting structure configured around the agreed customer process.
• Cargo release – sequenced preparation for collection or onward distribution by the selected mode.

Our 125,000 m² of covered storage gives customers a meaningful option for reducing exposure to weather and environmental conditions during dwell. It can support new vehicle programs, sensitive units, processed vehicles and cargo awaiting scheduled release.

Covered allocation is planned against the cargo profile, required service level and available capacity.

Some programs require rapid cross-terminal flow. Others need buffer capacity, processing time or staged market release. We work with customers to define expected dwell, priority logic, stock segregation and release windows so the terminal plan reflects the commercial plan.

Dedicated planning for inbound and outbound movements helps reduce congestion and avoid uncoordinated peaks. Truck and rail activity is aligned with terminal readiness, documentation and the customer’s release sequence. Shortsea options can also be integrated where they support the route.
