Port of Rotterdam companies support the Food Bank
Three companies at the City Terminal on Rotterdam Heijplaat have joined forces to supply the Food Bank with fresh fruit and vegetables. The firms OGL, Fruitservice and the logistics service provider Kloosterboer all work from Cool Port, the Netherlands’ largest cold store for cooled and refrigerated produce.
Here, fruit and vegetables that have been shipped in containers to Rotterdam from all over the world are unloaded and pre-processed before ending up on the shelves of supermarkets in Western Europe.
In some cases, the produce is rejected for further processing – because unit weights deviate from contract specifications, for example. This fruit & veg is presently being sent on to the Food Bank. (ben)
