Global Conference

dear participant,

We are delighted to bring Cool Logistics Global to Rotterdam for the second year running and to welcome new and returning attendees on-board this fitting flagship for an event that has established itself as the ‘voice of the international perishables sector’.

Rotterdam remains a leading international trade gateway for perishables. We are grateful for the generous support given once again by Port of Rotterdam as our host port, and for the continued participation of the Dutch cool logistics community. Thanks are also due to all of our other sponsors and, of course, our expert body of speakers, without whom this event would not be possible.

Our goal in these few days is to provide a chance for all the stakeholders to come together and discuss how to tackle rising cost, capacity, quality and regulatory pressures against the backdrop of continued world trade growth in food, flowers, pharmaceuticals and other perishable goods.

The theme for the 2014 event is “Perishables, Protectionism and Profitability”. As illustrated by current events in Russia, food is a powerful political tool. Understanding how a rising tide of protectionism and ‘food politics’ may impact world perishable trade, and what this means for international shippers, logistics and transport providers, will be one of the talking points at this year’s event.

We hope that Cool Logistics Global provides you with a great opportunity to make and renew valuable business contacts and to compare experiences, expectations and approaches with your fellow attendees. You are warmly encouraged to engage actively with speakers and participants both during sessions and social networking events.

Our very best wishes for an enjoyable few days and please don’t hesitate to let us know if there is anything we can do to help you make the most of your time here.

Kind regards

the cool logistics team

Global Conference

Welcome to Cool logistics Global 2014

Dear delegates,

On behalf of the Port of Rotterdam, I would like to welcome you to the 2014 Cool Logistics Global

Conference. We are proud to be host port of both last year’s and this year’s gathering of key cool

logistics professionals from all around the world. Over the next three days, you will learn about the latest

trends and be inspired by fellow professionals, and there will be plenty of opportunity to network and do

business.

In addition, you will be able to see more of our dynamic port. Some of you already had an opportunity

to be among the first visitors to the brand-new APM Terminal on Rotterdam’s new Maasvlakte 2 during

the pre-conference tour. The tour included a visit to the Dutch flower industry, where participants got to

experience the trade and logistics behind one of the Netherlands’ most famous export products.

The Netherlands continues to flourish as an importer and exporter of all perishables. The Netherlands,

with its outstanding base of trade and service companies, is a leading transit destination for every

kind of refrigerated and frozen cargo, a position supported the country’s own innovative technology,

production and packaging companies. The perishables trade is one the drivers of the Dutch economy,

and the Netherlands enjoys a solid reputation overseas. This reputation also strengthens the position of

the Port of Rotterdam, which has become an absolute hot spot for cool logistics.

As the host port of Cool Logistics 2014, the Port of Rotterdam is also hosting the official networking

reception on the first day of the conference. Don’t miss this great opportunity to connect with the

biggest names in perishables logistics while enjoying the best of local produce at the Fenix Food

Factory on Tuesday 30 September 2014 from 6 to 8 pm. I hope to see you there.

All that remains for me to say is: Have a great conference and enjoy your time in the Port of Rotterdam!

When dealing with perishables, fast and careful handling is crucial: two things in which the port of Rotterdam excels. The port of Rotterdam is the first port of call for many deep-sea liners, offering state-of-the-art terminals, an unrivalled number of reefer container plugs, outstanding cold storage facilities and excellent intermodal hinterland connections.

Add the fact that perishables trade is one of the economic drivers of the Dutch economy, with an excellent base of trade and service companies for packaging, processing and distribution, and it becomes clear why the port of Rotterdam is the import and (re)export hub for all refrigerated and frozen cargo in Europe.
