ECU Worldwide moves groupage to Van Moer on other Scheldt bank

Currently, ECU Worldwide – a 100% subsidiary of India’s Allcargo Logistics since 2006 – has 23,000 m² of group warehouses on the Luithagen on Rechteroever in Antwerp. “We are on the wrong side of the port there,” says Marc Stoffelen, executive director of ECU Worldwide in Antwerp. “Groupage is a matter of last-minute delivery and then it is important to be close to the terminals. Most of the traffic is now on the Left Bank.” According to Stoffelen, the original intention was to modernise the warehouses on the Right Bank. “Those warehouses are ‘outdated’ and we wanted to renew them. We already had the necessary permits, but then we got the opportunity to rent part of Van Moer Logistics’ new warehouses on the Oudedijk on the Left Bank.”
