Searching for a breakbulk specialist with a global presence?
Need a customised service from a world-class logistics hub?
Broekman has over 50 years of experience in handling
and adding value to oversized and overweight cargo in the
Port of Rotterdam. Our knowledgeable workforce and advanced
terminals offer you a full range of logistics services that
meet your detailed requirements.
HANDLING THE MOST CHALLENGING CARGO IN LOGISTICS
Broekman serves a wide variety of clients in ‘heavy industry’.
They appreciate our ability to manage a diverse and challenging
portfolio of heavy cargo, including steel and metals, heavy turbines
and generators, cranes and vessel engines, and mining and offshore
equipment. Our focus on breakbulk has led to three distinct logistics
services that can be customised to your exact needs:
OFFSHORE & HEAVY LIFT
Offering a total heavy lift cargo solution to the offshore,
energy and mining sectors
PROJECT CARGO
Sourcing, assembling and delivering cargo for major projects
around the world
STEEL LOGISTICS
Providing year-round, all-weather stevedoring and
warehousing for steel and metals
INVESTING IN CUSTOMISED SERVICES AND LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIPS
Broekman specialises in providing customised logistics solutions
for producers and distributors of breakbulk freight. Every day, almost
all types of heavy lift and out-of-gauge cargo are handled at our
terminals. Other support activities such as freight forwarding,
fiscal representation and customs brokerage are also provided.
That specialism is the reason we’re willing to invest in processes
that adapt to the needs of our clients – and why our clients are
happy to maintain long-term partnerships with us.
DIRECT ACCESS TO YOUR EUROPEAN CUSTOMER BASE
The locations of our three breakbulk terminals play a leading role
in meeting the challenges of your breakbulk cargo. Two breakbulk
terminals are located in the Port of Rotterdam, one of the world’s
largest deep-sea ports. Located on the North Sea coast, the port’s
spacious basins allow even the biggest ships to enter and depart 24
hours a day. It connects to a vast rail, road and barge infrastructure
that is perfect for the onward transportation of your large and heavy
items to and from locations in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium,
France and beyond. Our third terminal is located in the Eemshaven,
a fast-growing deep-sea port in the North of the Netherlands that
connects you to Northern Europe.

EXCEPTIONAL TERMINALS DEDICATED TO BREAKBULK CARGO
Our first-class facilities can manage the heaviest of cargo safely
and quickly. The all-weather terminal is the only terminal in the
Port of Rotterdam that offers year-round, all-weather stevedoring
for steel and metals, which removes the risk of climate damage to
cargo. Our unique project cargo & heavy lift terminal offers storage
space and heavy lifting capacity that is unrivalled in Europe.
These superior facilities result in high productivity figures and
competitive rates, which reduce your total cost of ownership
and speed up your logistics process.
A RESPONSIVE, RELIABLE AND HIGHLY TRAINED WORKFORCE
The high standard of our service levels is due to the high quality
of our terminal staff and office staff. Each member of staff is
trained to uphold safety, quality and productivity at all times
by following industry best practices and strict safety guidelines.
Their skills in the latest logistics technology enable them to react
quickly to sudden changes, while their knowledge of the
breakbulk sector lets them customise services to your exact needs.
VALUE-ADDED ACTIVITIES FOR YOUR HEAVY LIFT AND PROJECT CARGO
Broekman offers a wide range of value-added services to a wide
range of sectors, from marshalling and assembling project cargo to
repairing and modifying heavy lift cargo. For specialised or unique
tasks, we’re willing to invest in extra staff training whenever it’s
needed. Once an item is ready, it can stay with us in one of our
many storage locations until it’s needed. That means you don’t
have to tie up capital by investing in additional warehousing
and logistics staff.
