| Partnership
Vulcaanhaven
BV and JSC Soyuzkhimtrans International. As Vulcaanhaven is always looking to narrow the gap with her clients and continually seeks to improve her level of service, we have come to a partnership with Soyuzkhimtrans International, one of the largest transport-forwarding companies in the port of St. Petersburg. Soyuzkhimtrans is specialised in logistics services, intermodal transport through the port of St. Petersburg, handling chemicals, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, heavy equipment, paper and cellulose, timber and wooden products, oversized goods etc. In the beginning of June a delegation of Soyuzkhimtrans headed by Mrs. Tatiana A. Sushkova visited our offices and terminal in Rotterdam. It resulted in the signing of a Cooperation Agreement between our companies. Soyuzkhimtrans will act as representative of Vulaanhaven in the port of St.Petersburg and is authorized to operate for and on behalf of our company. Vulcaanhaven for her part will provide the necessary assistance to customers of Soyuzkhimtrans in Rotterdam. Together with our office in Tallinn, Estonia both companies are able to provide a comprehensive service to our clients in the Baltic, St Petersburg area and beyond.  9
Million Euro Claim against ECT-terminal
 New implementation of
a computer system at one of the container terminals of ECT in Rotterdam
has not gone without problems. For weeks in a row, delays in picking up
containers ran into 5 to 6 hours waiting time per container. Dutch
Forwarding Associations FENEX and Transport & Logistic Nederland
have lodged complaints and a claim of 9 million euros. Customs CornerFor the latest update on EU customs tariffs please check the Customs page at Metal Pages Vulcaanhaven is available for all matters on customs and VAT. We suggest you do not, repeat not, underestimate the consequences if customs and vat guidelines are not met. Better to be safe than sorry!  (more information: customs@vulcaanhaven.nl) |
Cruise Season
Started - Volvo Ocean Race in
Rotterdam The cruise season in Rotterdam has officially started. Mv. “Oriana” has arrived at the Wilhelmina pier. For the 4th consecutive year in a row we enjoy the arrivals of large cruise vessels in the Rotterdam Port. Together with the Volvo Ocean Race visiting the Port of Rotterdam in the weekend of 10th June with a Port Race, it shows: Rotterdam is more than just a Working Port!  Why choose Vulcaanhaven?  With our hands on approach on the terminal we act quick and swift. Reacting to clients demands almost instantly. Impossible? Try it out and challenge us. Don't forget, we actually see our daily activities. With our office on top of the terminal! With our equipment always on the 'standby' 7 operational machines for crushing/screening gives us a great advantage to serve clients quicker then anyone else. The picture shows the layout of our terminal. Within a radius of 150 meters you can discharge vessels (draft 12 meters), weigh, warehouse, process, deliver! You cannot get any better elsewhere. Working with Vulcaanhaven means working with a real team. Dedicated people bringing up the best in each other and making that team effort available to clients worldwide. Even top management is involved in the day to day running. New friends Vulcaanhaven is present at all major conferences in the metals industry. During the very well attended China Ferro-Alloys conference hosted last month in Xi'an by the Chinese organisation www.ferro-alloys.com our Chinese speaking operations manager Mr. Rudi Voorrecht was greeted by a lot of new friends.  Especially Chinese companies were very well represented, with Xi'an (one of China's former capitals, located in the western part of China) seemingly a bit out of the way for most Western companies. However many Chinese ferro-alloys companies and producers are based in Xi'an and neighboring provinces. Next years event will be held in Shanghai, which is easier accessible for most foreign visitors. We are looking forward to it and hope that this upcoming conference will host an equally interesting number of presentations ECB: Economic Growth Eurozone Continues  The European Central
Bank (ECB) has adjusted
her growth figures upwards. Despite the high oil price it is believed
growth continues at an average pace of 2,1% for the 12 euro countries.
First quarter growth figures showed Holland at 2,9% Businesses
continue to invest, consumer spending continues and the world economy
is described as dynamic. |
