AC Timber Trading chooses maritime imports via North Sea Port

With the arrival of the Link Sun, AC Timber Trading confirms its strategic choice for maritime imports via North Sea Port. Thanks to its position within the port, the company efficiently connects maritime supply with fast handling operations and a smooth onward flow to its warehouse.

The delivery of 1788 m³ of Scandinavian timber, representing 570 packs or approximately 45 trucks, illustrates how sea transport contributes to a more efficient logistics flow and a reduction in road transport movements.

The Link Sun is equipped with an integrated cargo lift system, enabling smooth transfer between the hold and the quay. This technical approach supports the fast and controlled handling of large timber volumes.

In close cooperation with North Sea Port, the unloading operations are efficiently organised at the quay. The combination of port infrastructure, maritime access and strategic location forms a strong link within the supply chain of AC Timber Trading.

The immediate proximity between the quay and the central warehouse further limits internal handling movements and enhances overall logistics efficiency.

Efficient handling as part of a strong supply chain

This approach results in logistics processing that is both efficient and reliable, fully aligned with large timber volumes:

• Continuous and controlled flow between hold and quay
• Efficient handling with limited transfer steps
• Safe processing of large timber volumes
• Optimised unloading times through direct forklift interaction

This method supports a future-oriented and high-performing supply chain, where maritime transport and handling operations are seamlessly integrated.

Less road transport, increased logistics efficiency

A delivery of this volume corresponds to approximately 45 trucks. By consolidating timber flows via maritime transport, AC Timber Trading reduces the number of individual road movements and opts for a more optimised logistics organisation.

Combined with efficient quay handling and the short distance to the warehouse, this results in:

• optimised logistics flows
• reduced road transport movements
• efficient integration between maritime and land transport

This delivery demonstrates how the combination of maritime transport, innovative unloading systems and a strategic location within North Sea Port contributes to efficient and future-proof timber flows.
