Reopening of the City Terminal

We would like to inform you that the City Terminal will re-open at 00:00 hours.

The inspection at RSC Rotterdam will start tomorrow (24-10) at 05:00 hours in order to properly manage the expected traffic of drivers.

Temporary closure of City Terminal due to severe weather

We would like to inform you that, due to the severe weather conditions forecasted for the coming hours, the City Terminal will be closed for all trucks today at 2:00 p.m.
This means that from that time onward, no trucks can be handled for loading or unloading at RSC Rotterdam. The internal transfer of units to RST-Matrans and Kramer will also be suspended. We will continue loading and unloading the shuttles as long as weather conditions allow.

Tomorrow, 24 October 2025, the inspection will open at 5:00 a.m. instead of 6:00 a.m.

Should there be any changes, we will inform you immediately.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

Changed opening hours RSC

As previously announced, from November 1st 2023 the RSC Rotterdam will apply different opening hours for the supply and delivery of units by road:

From Monday morning to Friday evening, units can delivered and picked up from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
From Sunday afternoon at 3:00 PM to Saturday evening at 8:00 PM, units can be picked up.

Please always make sure for a valid TAR code for arriving and dropping off units at the RSC Rotterdam.

 

 

RSC mandatory TAR from October 30th

For some time now, it has been possible to pre-notify containers and visits at Rail Service Center (RSC) through the Portbase service ‘Hinterland Container Notification (HCN) Road’. Following the pre-notification, you will automatically receive container status information as well as a TAR-code. You can use this TAR-code to check in at the RSC gate.
To introduce the use of the TAR-code, a trial period commenced on the 16th of October 2023. This trial period has proven successful. As a result, as of Monday, 30th of October 2023, pre-notifying containers and visits by truck is mandated by RSC.
If you have any questions about connecting to Portbase or using the Portbase portal, please contact Portbase’s customer service: https://www.portbase.com/contact/

Proef TAR-code bij RSC

From October 15th, Rail Service Center Rotterdam B.V. will start a trial period in which we require units and visits to be reported via the Portbase Melding Container Achterland (MCA-Road). This trial period follows the existing group of carriers who already visit our terminal frequently via a TAR code (45% of our total volume). After pre-notification, the necessary status information is automatically sent and you will receive a TAR code that your driver can use directly at the gate.

In short: NO TAR = NO ACCESS

The EDI provided by the rail operator is leading for handling via TAR. No manual adjustments are made on the RSC side.
A matrix board will be placed with instructions that the terminal is only accessible with a TAR code and traffic controllers will be present (from Monday 06:00 hours) to send drivers without a valid TAR code away.

 

Opening hours counter and inspection

From next Monday, 24-7-2023 to 8-9-2023, the counter and inspection will be open from Monday to Friday until 10 pm for returning your unit instead of 11 pm.

Picking up your unit alone is also possible  after 10 pm. Use a TAR code or the self  service desk.
