Routes
Heavy transport Germany – Netherlands
Many project transports run between Germany and the Netherlands – to and from the seaports, for chemicals, energy and plant engineering. Two permits must fit together in time and at the border.
What matters
- Two permits
- German and Dutch decision, aligned to the same period.
- Border transition
- Change of conditions and escort at the border.
- Ports
- Often part of a chain with sea or inland vessel.
- Canals and bridges
- Shape the route on the Dutch side.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- In which direction, and to which destination?
- Dimensions and weight?
- Is there a shipping leg?
- Which time window?
- Who is the contact at both ends?
What we need from you
- Addresses
- Dimensions and weight
- Time window
- Further legs
Preparation: You hand over the cargo ready for loading with known lifting points – dismantling, assembly and foundation work are handled by your team or your installation partner.
What we do for you
