RWG continuously strives to further optimize the logistic handling at its terminal. In this context, RWG will implement a new functionality in the RWGServices app. It will be possible for truck drivers to see the truck handling in detail at a glance.

From today the actual status specified per module at the terminal is available. On the homepage of the app the total amount of trucks present at the terminal will be displayed. Next to that, an overview shows all modules and the to be handled trucks and containers per module. Also, each specific module can present the estimated time of arrival of the trucks at the module and in which order they will proceed in the handling process. The update is available in the Google Play store & Apple App store.

The developments concerning the Corona Virus (COVID-19) are moving rapidly. RWG focusses on the health and safety of employees, customers and relations. RWG has taken a number of temporary measures to minimize the risk of contamination. One such temporary measure is that the biometrics scan at the terminal truck gate will not be in use for the time being. You do still need to be in possession of a CargoCard to be allowed entry.

For questions regarding the gate process you can contact the department Data Control & Gate via email address dcg@rwg.nl. For questions regarding water side and rail handling you can contact the department Operations via email address operations@rwg.nl.
