R. Nagel relies on ICTS.

‘Your goods are our concern', that is what transport company R. Nagel stands for.  Their motto is the translation of the company's service: fast, high quality, reliable and flexible.

And with the greatest possible attention to safety and security. It is not a coincidence that they are AEO and TAPA certified. Transport company R. Nagel B.V., located in Oude Meer, near Schiphol Airport (the Netherlands), specializes in the physical handling and distribution of air freight and temperature-controlled transport.

Their fleet consists of more than 70 units. Due to their great range of vehicles, they are able to handle different types of cargo. It is therefore not surprising that, for almost a year now, they have also been relying on different types of ICTS trailers, not only refrigerated and box trailers but also double deck boxes, to live up to their motto every single day.
 
Their choice of vehicle is determined by the volume, weight and nature of the goods. Transport company R. Nagel aims to achieve the highest possible load factor, which is not only good for the customer, but also for the environment. Together we make a difference!

TTP visits ICTS.

On 22 December 2020, Truck & Trail Performance (TTP) visited ICTS to evaluate the cooperation between both companies in 2020 and discuss their goals for this year. TTP specializes in preventing technical problems for trucks & trailers in all of Europe. Both companies, represented by Mr. Bart Bakker, TTP’s Key Account Manager and Jan Coene, President & CEO of ICTS, decided to expand their cooperation.

Congratulations from DFDS.

No doubt 2020 was a tough year. A mail late December from DFDS made up for all of it:

I would like to thank all the ICTS staff who have contributed to helping DFDS carry out their business this year, this enabling us to support our customers in one of the most difficult years I and most other people can or will ever remember. Both your workshops and rental businesses have helped me/EEP (European Equipment Pool) with every request I have thrown at them, and I have thrown a lot!

For sure such rewarding comments from DFDS, trend setter in the Logistic Industry, motivate ICTS to perform even better through 2021.

On-site technical inspection.

Mr. Ignace Van Overbeke, head of the KM ‘Keuringsbureau Motorvoertuigen NV’ visited ICTS in Zeebrugge, Belgium. After an introduction to ICTS and a visit to the new ICTS inspection hall, Mr. Van Overbeke and Mr. Jan Coene discussed their future start for the on-site MOT inspection of trailers in Zeebrugge.
 
ICTS expects to carry out 3,500 inspections of Dutch registered trailers (APK) this year. In time, it is our intention to accomplish as many on-site Belgian MOT inspections at ICTS Zeebrugge, in totally independent cooperation with KM nv.

ICTS, the RO-RO expert.

Not only corona but also Brexit is on everyone’s mind and a lot of transport companies are looking into other options. We observe shifts towards rail (Huckepack trailers) but also unmanned Ferry traffic. 

For almost 40 years now, International Container & Trailer Services (ICTS) has been the reference in unmanned transport of trailers (RO-RO) between Zeebrugge and various ports in the UK. The ICTS Rental fleet has been constructed to ‘Ferry’ specifications. Ferry trailers are more robust and designed to roll-on and roll-off RO-RO ships between the continent and the UK without damage to the trailer and the load. This unique expertise is, with Brexit being fact, very valuable to ICTS’ customers who are increasingly turning to unmanned transport to the UK due to time and administrative concerns. Moreover, ICTS has technicians at mobile workshops on the dock to control and, if necessary, immediately repair both trailer and/or load without downtime.

This long-standing experience and know-how has now been transferred to the Ghent, Antwerp and Rotterdam harbours. Supply tailor-made transport equipment, just in time, supported by workshops, field services and spare parts. European Transport Leaders like Ewals, LKW Walter or P&O Ferrymasters are pushing ICTS every day, again and again, to be faster and better, to deliver the right service at the right cost with the right processes.

ICTS has always invested in trailers with the highest multifunctionality. Consequently, its entire fleet with all its various types of trailers is suitable for unmanned ferry traffic and Huckepack is the new standard. ICTS is no doubt the right partner to consult for any specific questions regarding how Brexit could impact your transportation business.
