THE PORT OF BRABANT

Oosterhout Container Terminal (OCT): A Hub of Reliability and Efficiency

At Rietveld Logistics Group (RLG), we operate one of the most important inland terminals in the West Brabant region—Oosterhout Container Terminal (OCT). This strategically located terminal plays a crucial role in the efficient transport of goods between Antwerp & Rotterdam’s deep-sea terminals and inland destinations across the Netherlands. With its advanced infrastructure and operational excellence, OCT ensures fast, reliable, and sustainable container transport. Our terminal operates 24/7, with a license to operate without disruption from locks, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted services for our customers.

Why This Matters

  • Fixed Weekly Windows: OCT operates on a set schedule with 24 fixed weekly windows, ensuring predictable and minimal delays. Additionally, 12 flexible calls allow us to meet varying transport needs, offering our customers enhanced scheduling flexibility.
  • Efficient Operations: Designed to handle large volumes of containers, OCT minimizes terminal dwell times, optimizing both port and inland transport. This efficiency reduces wait times, minimizes bottlenecks, and ensures swift loading and unloading operations.
  • Reliability: With its structured timetable and reliable sailing schedules, OCT consistently provides on-time services, enabling businesses to plan operations with confidence and minimal disruption.
  • Sustainability: OCT plays a key role in reducing CO₂ emissions as part of the West Brabant region’s sustainable transport initiatives. We offer environmentally-friendly transport alternatives while meeting the growing demands of the logistics sector.

Container Storage Solutions

  • OCT is your go-to solution for storing both import and export goods. Whether you're expecting containers ahead of schedule or need flexible storage for both full and empty containers, we have ample space to meet your needs.
  • Short-Term & Long-Term Storage: Our terminals offer extensive storage capacity, allowing for both short-term and long-term storage of containers. This ensures your operations remain flexible and agile, whether you need containers immediately or plan for future use.
