cold supply chain

Built for temperature-controlled cargo

Unlike Gosselin's other inland terminals, Wielsbeke supports reefer container handling. Containers can remain connected to power on site while awaiting onward transport, maintaining an uninterrupted cold chain for temperature-sensitive cargo between the port and final delivery.

Case study: from port to warehouse in one connected flow

For TVH, road transport completes the final stage of an integrated multimodal supply chain. Containers arrive in Antwerp by sea, continue inland by barge to the Wielsbeke terminal, and are then delivered to TVH's warehouses in Waregem, the final leg increasingly completed by e-truck.

By combining terminal operations, barge transport and sustainable final-mile road delivery, containers move from port to warehouse through a single logistics network rather than multiple providers.
