Intermodal Transport

With intermodal transportation, in the path between supplier and customer, a large part of the road transport is replaced by rail transport.

This results in less road saturation, a smaller environmental impact and safer roads.

Location

Combinant is located in the north of the port of Antwerp-Bruges and is easily accessible from the A12 motorway and from the Scheldelaan.

The total area of Combinant is approximately 1 km by 100 m, or 20 soccer fields.

Train Network

With its central location in the port of Antwerp-Bruges and the cooperation with different train operators Combinant can offer extensive European rail network services.

Joint Venture

Combinant was founded as a joint venture between BASFHupac and Hoyer with the support of Europe and the Flemish Government.

  • BASF Antwerp is the largest chemical production site in Belgium. BASF Antwerp strives for a sustainable “supply chain” by reducing road transport’s share in favor of rail transportation.
  • Hupac is a leader in transalpine transportation with the Benelux countries as main market. Hupac supports the terminal capacity for future growth.
  • Hoyer wants to expand the terminal infrastructure in order to build up a pan-European intermodal network.

Environmental Aspect

By replacing road transport with rail transport Combinant ensures 140,000 fewer trucks will be driving on the roads annually.

140,000 fewer trucks means 30,000 tons CO2 emissions less annually.

140,000 trucks less annually stands for 50 million driving kilometers less or 10 km traffic jams less daily.

Support

Combinant was established with support from EFRO (European Regional Development Fund) and co-financing of the Flemish Government.

The aid is part of the Operational Programme “Regional Competitiveness and Employment” Flanders 2007-2013, priority 3: “Achieving a sustainable strengthening of economic ports and international multimodal accessibility“.

Combinant meets the requirements of this program because it:

  • makes the supply chain more efficient
  • reduces trucks on the road
  • reduces the environmental impact
  • creates jobs
  • strengthenes the European intermodal network

03.09.2021 после обеда, Работник офиса женщина, говорит одевать маску, при этом сама в нарушение меры безопасности находясь без маски. Что за дискриминация, или как в Нидерландах уберите для всех маски, или носите все маски! Потому как это все формализм. Туалет закрыт, потому как не могу нанять уборщика. Плюс этой компании за крановщиков которые профессионалы своего дела.02.09.2022 Меняю оценку с двух звёзд до "5". Поменяли людей в офисе. Робота стала намного быстрее и приятнее, проверка контейнера тоже быстро, ну и крановщик которые ждут тебя при подъезде на место.09/03/2021 in the afternoon, an office worker, a woman, says to put on a mask, while she herself, in violation of security measures, is without a mask. What kind of discrimination, or like in the Netherlands, remove masks for all, or wear all masks! Because this is all formalism. The toilet is closed because , they cannot hire a cleaner. Crane operators who are professionals in their field it is +09/02/2022 I am changing my rating from two stars to "5". They changed the people in the office. The robot has become much faster and more pleasant, checking the container is also fast, and the crane operator is waiting for you at the entrance to the place.

Всегда проезжаем через check in, потом идём регистрироваться в офис. Сразу на компьютер, если только берём контейнер, то сразу выдает бумагу на въезд в терминал. Если сдаешь полный, то с собой следует взять смр, без нее не оформят, опять компьютер, потом в окошко. Ложи смр в отмеченное место и называй номер тягоча. После оформления в офисе едем под шлагбаум, вводим код указанный в листе на въезд и стоим тупим от 0,5 до 5 минут, пока система обработает. Дальше едем сброс, взять и на выезд. Все не сложно, но в первый раз бывают затруднения
