## Company Profile Nederlandse Organisatie voor Expeditie en Logistiek (FENEX) — national Dutch freight forwarding & logistics organisation / trade association. Represents forwarding companies, NVOCCs, customs brokers and logistics service providers in the Netherlands; provides advocacy with Dutch government and EU bodies, compliance guidance, industry standards, training, member events and sector research. Acts as a central contact point for policy, regulatory updates and collective industry voice (secretariaat@fenex.nl). Membership spans SMEs to larger forwarders operating through Rotterdam, Amsterdam/Schiphol and inland hubs. ## Pain Points 1) Regulatory and compliance load: With CBAM moving to financial operation in 2026, EU ETS at 100% and the upcoming Union Customs Code & ICS2 phases, FENEX members must capture emissions, EUDR traceability, and richer customs data. They need external delivery channels that can supply CBAM/EUDR-ready shipments and compliant documentation to avoid delays and fines. 2) Capacity & cost shocks on Asia–EU corridors: Red Sea diversions, blank sailings and recent spot rate spikes (+$400–600/FEU) force shippers into expensive modes and shrink space for smaller customers; forwarders need origin diversification and verified alternate-supplier pipelines to reduce exposure. 3) Small‑parcel & e‑commerce disruption: From July 2026 de‑minimis removal increases customs declarations for low‑value parcels. Members serving e‑commerce clients will face a sudden volume of declarations and duty calculations and need solutions that provide pre‑cleared, correctly documented consignments. ## Intel Summary === MULTI-DIMENSION RESEARCH === === 1.

this directly affects equipment repositioning costs that Dutch forwarders must manage.([portofrotterdam.com](https://www.portofrotterdam.com/nl/nieuws-en-persberichten/tussen-groei-en-druk-containerjaar-2025-rotterdam-onder-de-loep?utm_source=openai)) - Despite a slight **decline in overall EU–US trade in 2025**, Rotterdam’s volumes on North America routes **rose >16%**, reflecting carrier network redesign (alliances, hub‑and‑spoke calls) that favors Rotterdam as a gateway.([porttechnology.org](https://www.porttechnology.org/rotterdam-volumes-shift-as-carrier-networks-reshape-trade/?utm_source=openai)) **Competitive position vs other North‑West European ports** - Port of Antwerp‑Bruges H1 2025: total throughput **down 4.3%**, though container traffic was “remarkably resilient” and the port held about **30.4% market share in the Hamburg–Le Havre range** in Q1 2025.([newsroom.portofantwerpbruges.com](https://newsroom.portofantwerpbruges.com/hubfs/Kwartaalcijfers_Q1-2_2025_Factsheet_ENG.pdf?hsLang=en&utm_source=openai)) - In early 2025, Antwerp reportedly **surpassed Rotterdam in Q1 container throughput**, indicating continued competition for main‑haul alliances and transshipment volumes.([olgn.org](https://www.olgn.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/The-Maritime-Executive-Antwerp-Surpasses-Rotterdam-in-Q1-Containers-as-Ports-Fear-US-Tariffs.pdf?utm_source=openai)) **Implications for Netherlands freight forwarders (2026 view)** - Forwarders serving Dutch shippers are operating in a context where: - **Bulk and fossil‑heavy flows (coal, crude)** continue to contract, but **containerised imports from Asia and North America are expanding**, raising demand for value‑added warehousing, customs brokerage, and hinterland distribution in the Netherlands.([porttechnology.org](https://www.porttechnology.org/port-of-rotterdam-sees-bulk-down-and-boxes-up-in-mixed-q1/?utm_source=openai)) - Structural import–export imbalance (extra **1.47m TEU imported vs exported over 2020–2025**) keeps empty‑container repositioning, depot handling and storage a major operational and cost item for Netherlands‑based forwarders and NVOCCs.([portofrotterdam.com](https://www.portofrotterdam.com/nl/nieuws-en-persberichten/tussen-groei-en-druk-containerjaar-2025-rotterdam-onder-de-loep?utm_source=openai)) - Rotterdam expects a “green‑transition surge” in project and breakbulk cargo (offshore wind, hydrogen, CO₂ transport like Porthos pipelines), which should support specialised forwarders and heavy‑lift/project logistics players in 2026–2030.([ports.marinelink.com](https://ports.marinelink.com/ports/port/egegik/news/port-of-rotterdam-reports-robust-2025-volumes-eyes-green-transition-surge-in-2026?utm_source=openai)) **Key quantitative signals to watch going into 2026** - Port of Rotterdam container throughput: - Reference: **~15.6m TEU in 2025 (+4–5% YoY)**; modest mid‑single‑digit growth is projected, but sensitive to EU/US macro slowdown and ongoing Red Sea/Suez disruption.([ports.marinelink.com](https://ports.marinelink.com/ports/port/egegik/news/port-of-rotterdam-reports-robust-2025-volumes-eyes-green-transition-surge-in-2026?utm_source=openai)) - Ongoing **four‑year decline in total cargo tonnage** (since ~2022) indicates that volume growth for Dutch forwarders is coming more from **containers, value‑added logistics and e‑commerce flows** than from traditional bulk.([nltimes.nl](https://nltimes.nl/2026/02/26/cargo-volumes-port-rotterdam-fall-fourth-consecutive-year?utm_source=openai)) **Citations – Dimension 1** ([porttechnology.org](https://www.porttechnology.org/rotterdam-volumes-shift-as-carrier-networks-reshape-trade/?utm_source=openai)) === 2. [PROBLEM FRAMING] – Supply chain disruptions affecting Dutch exporters/importers in 2026 === **Ocean freight market & capacity in 2026** - Global container market is still affected by **Red Sea / Suez diversions**: up to **~30% of world container volumes** that normally transit Suez were rerouted around the Cape during earlier crises, adding **7–10 days** and thousands of miles on Asia–Europe trades; this remains a key driver of schedule unreliability and higher bunker consumption into 2026.([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/zim/comments/1p6jo8v/freightos_weekly_update_november_25_2025_excerpt/?utm_source=openai)) - Community reports from freight practitioners (late March 2026): - **Asia–Europe ocean rates rose by ~$400–600 per FEU** in late March 2026 alone, amid **“sharp upward trajectory”** in spot prices and increased blank sailings.([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/FreightRight/comments/1s2qic5/ocean_rates_up_as_volumes_continue_to_sink/?utm_source=openai)) - Certain east–west lanes are described as facing **“severe capacity constraints due to significant blank sailings”**, which will particularly impact Dutch importers from Asia using Rotterdam as a gateway.([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/FreightRight/comments/1s2qic5/ocean_rates_up_as_volumes_continue_to_sink/?utm_source=openai)) **Air freight rates and modal shifts** - Shippers who typically move by sea are being **forced into air** due to extended sea transit times (Red Sea/Suez disruptions adding **10–14 days** via the Cape of Good Hope).([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/logistics/comments/1sqicir/poll_for_indian_exporters_what_is_your-biggest/?utm_source=openai)) - Community reports in April 2026 suggest **air freight rates are up 60–80% vs prior “normal” levels**, with examples of **PVG–EU air rates spiking from $4.50–5.50/kg to >$7/kg** on some lanes.([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/FreightRight/comments/1s2qic5/ocean_rates_up_as_volumes_continue_to_sink/?utm_source=openai)) - This creates a **modal shift pressure**: - High‑value, time‑sensitive Dutch exports (pharma, high‑tech, perishables) are more likely to use air despite elevated costs. - Lower‑margin Dutch importers/exporters suffer margin compression or must lengthen lead times and increase inventory buffers. **European road freight & hinterland capacity** - Intra‑EU road freight (key for Rotterdam–hinterland connectivity) is under cost pressure due to: - **Driver shortage of ~444k positions in Europe**, pushing wages and operating costs up.([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/logistics/comments/1t0c9lv/how_did_we_end_up_in_a_situation_where_costs_in/?utm_source=openai)) - **Netherlands per‑km toll starting July (replacing the eurovignette)**, which will increase cost per km for international truckers serving Dutch gateways—likely to flow through into forwarder‑quoted all‑in rates for FTL/LTL to/from Rotterdam and other Dutch hubs.([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/logistics/comments/1t0c9lv/how_did_we_end_up_in_a_situation_where_costs_in/?utm_source=openai)) **General disruption environment for 2026** - Logistics commentary in 2026 highlights **“delays, cost changes, and disruptions… part of everyday operations”**, driven by: global conflicts (Red Sea, Russia‑Ukraine), new government rules (CBAM, ETS, EUDR), high energy prices, and climate‑linked incidents.([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/LogisticsSoftware/comments/1sk5vof/impact_of_external_forces_on_the-global-logistics/?utm_source=openai)) - UNCTAD/Clarksons data (via analysts) indicates world seaborne trade reached **~12.7 bn tonnes in 2024** with container volumes **+6.6%**, implying the market in 2025–2026 is **demand‑resilient but capacity‑stretched**, which supports structurally higher freight rates.([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/ShippingStocks/comments/1rny13j/127_billion_tons_by_sea_in_2024_record_volumes/?utm_source=openai)) **Specific pain points for Dutch exporters/importers** - **For Dutch importers** (consumer goods, electronics, textiles): - Higher Asia–EU sea rates (+$400–600/FEU recent uplift) and longer transit times due to diversions and ETS/CBAM‑driven surcharges.([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/FreightRight/comments/1s2qic5/ocean_rates_up_as_volumes_continue_to_sink/?utm_source=openai)) - Increased customs and ESG data requirements (see Dimension 3) pushing up brokerage and compliance costs per shipment.([maersk.com](https://www.maersk.com/insights/resilience/2026/02/06/customs-regulations-changes-2026?utm_source=openai)) - **For Dutch exporters** (agri‑food, chemicals, machinery, metals): - **CBAM** and **EU ETS for shipping at 100% coverage from 2026** raise delivered‑cost disadvantage for carbon‑intensive exports routed via EU ports, particularly where backhaul legs are less utilised. Typical ETS surcharges cited for 2026 are **~$168 per 40ft on Asia–Europe** flows, part of which forwarders must pass through or absorb.([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/ShippingStocks/comments/1rlcxkm/2026_is_the_year_shipping_regulation_gets_real_eu/?utm_source=openai)) - Capacity constraints in both ocean and air during seasonal peaks (pre‑Chinese New Year, produce seasons) lead to **space allocation “cherry‑picking” by carriers/forwarders**, disadvantaging smaller Dutch shippers.([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/logistics/comments/1sqicir/poll_for_indian_exporters_what_is_your-biggest/?utm_source=openai)) - **Inventory & planning response**: exporters and importers increasingly hold **higher safety stock** and diversify routings (e.g., more via Antwerp/Bruges or Hamburg), but this raises working‑capital and complexity; Dutch forwarders capable of multimodal solutions (short‑sea, rail, barge plus trucking) are in demand. **Citations – Dimension 2**n ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/FreightRight/comments/1s2qic5/ocean_rates_up_as_volumes_continue_to_sink/?utm_source=openai)) === 3.
