From the bustling harbors of Scheveningen and IJmuiden, seafood finds its way to plates around the world. Presently, fish is primarily transported via road, using trucks to reach Rotterdam for export via deep-sea carriers. This transportation method, while effective, contributes to road congestion, increases the carbon footprint, and adds to operational costs. To address these challenges and explore more sustainable alternatives, Jaczon, a prominent fishing company, has set its sights on the possibility of sea transport directly from Scheveningen and IJmuiden to Rotterdam.
StigΔ has undertaken a comprehensive feasibility study to assess the viability of establishing a short-haul feeder service for this purpose. The study encompasses a wide array of considerations, including customs procedures, economic feasibility, and operational viability within the port areas. By examining these factors, StigΔ aims to provide a holistic understanding of the potential benefits, challenges, and opportunities associated with this innovative seafood transport solution.
