About Rotterdam

Rotterdam is home to Europe's largest seaport – an immense 105-square-kilometre complex stretching along the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta that handles over 460 million tonnes of cargo annually. As the gateway through which goods from the Americas, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East enter the European continent, Rotterdam's port operates as the backbone of European import logistics. Its 15.3 million TEU annual container throughput makes it the busiest container port in Europe and one of the largest in the world.

For road freight operators from Serbia, Rotterdam represents both a primary delivery destination and a redistribution hub. The Betuweroute – a dedicated freight railway from Rotterdam to the German border – feeds goods into the pan-European rail and road network. In parallel, road freight from Western Europe destined for Serbia often originates in Rotterdam's Europoort logistics zones, where consolidation warehouses for importers serve Eastern European markets.

Fin Partner coordinates road freight between Serbia and Rotterdam for both export and import directions. Shipments from Serbian manufacturers destined for Rotterdam distribution centres, as well as inbound cargo from Rotterdam to Serbian importers, are handled on a regular schedule. The Belgrade–Rotterdam corridor covers approximately 1,750 kilometres and includes customs clearance support at Dutch customs offices.
