RHB Stevedoring & Warehousing is a premier, independent terminal operator located in the Port of Rotterdam, specializing in the handling and storage of heavy lift, project cargo, breakbulk, and dry bulk. Strategically situated in the Waalhaven, the company serves as a vital hub for international shipping lines, freight forwarders, and heavy-lift specialists. With over 90 years of experience, RHB has built a global reputation for its "pure stevedoring" approach, maintaining total independence from shipping lines and forwarders to ensure neutral, high-quality service for all clients.
The company offers a comprehensive range of maritime and logistics services designed to handle the most challenging cargo requirements. Their core offerings include:
- Heavy Lift & Project Cargo: Expert handling of oversized items such as turbines, generators, transformers, and wind turbine components.
- Stevedoring: Efficient loading and unloading of breakbulk, non-ferrous metals, and dry bulk commodities.
- Warehousing: Extensive storage solutions including 12,000 square meters of bonded warehouse space and 30,000 square meters of open-air storage.
- Value-Added Services: Professional lashing and securing, tallying, and specialized cargo inspections.
A key strength of RHB is its specialized technical infrastructure, which includes some of the world’s most powerful mobile harbor cranes. Their flagship Liebherr LHM 600 crane allows for heavy lifts of up to 208 tons, providing the speed and flexibility often lacking in traditional floating crane operations. This high-capacity shore-based equipment ensures rapid turnaround times and reduced costs for vessel owners and charterers.
Beyond technical capabilities, RHB Stevedoring & Warehousing prioritizes safety and compliance. The terminal is fully ISPS and AEO certified, ensuring the highest standards of security and streamlined customs procedures. By combining a deep-water berth with a flexible, 24/7 service mentality, RHB remains a leader in the Rotterdam maritime community, offering tailor-made logistics solutions that meet the rigorous demands of modern international trade.
