Three dry docks – one of them covered – and two floating docks define Schiedam, a cluster of basins on the Nieuwe Maas about 4.5 nautical miles below Rotterdam's bridges and 15 from open sea. The site is home to Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam, a leading repair and conversion yard that handles more than twenty vessel types, from general-cargo ships to gas tankers. Beyond ship repair, the quays manage heavy-lift and project cargo, while scheduled container traffic stays with Rotterdam's deep-sea terminals. Nautical management, commercial shipping and port dues are run by the Port of Rotterdam on behalf of the Municipality of Schiedam. Excellent road, rail and inland-waterway links let oversized components move straight into the European interior. For forwarders, Schiedam is best understood as a repair, heavy-lift and breakbulk address rather than a box terminal.
