Automated container terminal APM Terminals Maasvlakte II and hands-free charging solution provider Rocsys have partnered to deploy hands-free charging at Maasvlakte II in the Port of Rotterdam.

Increasing efficiency

Through the partnership, Rocsys will enable 24/7 hands-free charging of 30 Terberg electric automated terminal trucks (ATTs), equipped with Embotech’s Level 4 AV Kit for autonomous operation. The hands-free charging solution is intended to reduce reliance on manual processes, enhance worker safety by minimizing human exposure, and pave the way for fully autonomous vehicle operations at the terminal. Combined with the Rocsys portal, a monitoring and control platform, it is expected to offer seamless oversight and full control over the charging process.

Sustainable partnership

This partnership aligns with the Port of Rotterdam’s commitment to electrification and sustainability, further advancing innovation in automated terminal operations.

Crijn Bouman, CEO and co-founder of Rocsys, said, “The future of mobility is autonomous, and true autonomous mobility is only achieved through hands-free charging. We are excited about this collaboration with APM Terminals MVII, one of the largest and most advanced container terminals in Europe. This partnership shows how our hands-free charging solution, utilizing standardized interfaces according to the ZEPA agreement, is essential for enabling autonomous port operations, supporting our partners’ journey toward higher efficiency and greater levels of innovation.”

Harold Kunst, CEO of APM Terminals MVII, added, “By deploying Rocsys’ hands-free charging solutions we make a significant step forward in achieving our vision of a fully electric, autonomous and sustainable terminal. There can be no fully autonomous operations without hands-free charging, and by integrating this innovative solution, we are enhancing efficiency and improving worker safety while advancing the decarbonization of our terminal operations.”
