Gasmeetstation Nederland

What Gasmeetstation Nederland does

Gasmeetstation Nederland BV is a Rotterdam-based B2B services company specializing in gas measurement, container degassing, fumigation, and adjacent logistics services for shipping containers. Founded in 2009 as Gasmeetstation Rotterdam and rebranded to Gasmeetstation Nederland in 2019, the company operates from its Maasvlakte headquarters directly adjacent to all major Rotterdam deepsea terminals (APMI, APMII, ECT, RWG, Euromax), with a second drive-through facility at Pernis-Rotterdam and 21 inland degassing locations across the Netherlands. Field services extend across the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Germany on a 24/7 basis.

The company's technical platform combines a Gasmet DX 4040 FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) analyzer with Dräger X-am 8000 multi-gas detectors (six sensors covering PID, LEL, O2, CO, CO2, and PH3), supported by Dräger X-dock calibration stations. Proprietary process IP includes specialized suction nozzles that allow containers to be degassed without breaking original seals and integrated three-high degassing racks that enable 96 simultaneous ventilation cycles — described as the largest such facility in the Netherlands. A client portal with EDI/API integration handles measurement registration, VGM certificates, invoicing, and FYCO (physical customs) inspection coordination.

Commercially, Gasmeetstation operates a one-stop-shop model with eight revenue streams: gas measurement, degassing, container depot (1,800+ TEU capacity, ADR/NON-ADR storage), fumigation (phosphine, sulfuryl fluoride, ISPM-15 heat treatment, BMSB for Australia/New Zealand), customs inspection (FYCO) under Douane Entrepot-C status, warehousing (25,000 m² AEO- and PGS15-certified), specialized ventilated transport (10+ trailers), and training/certification. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year B2B contracts, no public tiers, and no disclosed revenue. The customer base spans freight forwarders, customs brokers, warehouse operators, and transport companies — none disclosed by name. Ownership is private; General Manager Leo Roderkerken oversees the business, which holds no disclosed external funding, parent company, or acquisition history.

Gasmeetstation Nederland provides on-site and drive-through gas measurement of shipping containers using FTIR analyzers and multi-gas detectors, identifies toxic and explosive atmospheres, and forces-ventilates rejected containers at the largest degassing facility in the Netherlands. It complements these safety services with ADR/NON-ADR container storage, fumigation (phosphine, sulfuryl fluoride, heat treatment ISPM-15), customs inspections (FYCO) as an official Douane Entrepot-C, warehousing (25,000 m² AEO/PGS15), ventilated transport, breakbulk handling, and certified training.

Product overview

Gasmeetstation Nederland operates as a logistics and safety services provider organized around a core gas measurement and container safety platform. The primary offering combines gas measurement and degassing services (Gas Measurement, Degassing) supported by a network of two container depot facilities on the Rotterdam Maasvlakte. The product portfolio spans adjacent service modules — Fumigation, Customs Inspection (FYCO), Warehousing, Transport, Breakbulk, Research, Training & Advice, BMSB Treatment, and Ethylene Oxide Handling — that together enable a single-point-of-contact, one-stop-shop model covering the full lifecycle of shipping containers from deepsea terminal pickup through gas measurement, degassing/fumigation, customs clearance, warehousing, and final delivery. An optional Client Portal (Webservice) add-on provides customers with 24/7 digital access to measurement reports, certificates, and invoicing, with EDI/API connectivity for enterprise integration.

Broad incumbents

• Cotecna: International TIC company offering customs inspection, commodity verification, and container-related services across emerging and developed markets. Comparable in delivering inspection and compliance services at ports, with overlap in customs and cargo safety.
• Intertek Group: Global TIC provider with cargo and container inspection, agricultural services, and quality assurance. Comparable in regulated cargo testing, port-based inspection services, and certification-driven compliance offerings.
• Bureau Veritas: Major TIC firm with marine and cargo inspection services including container surveys and commodity inspection. Comparable in providing certification-driven container and cargo safety services for ports and shippers, though broader in scope.
• SGS SA: Global testing, inspection and certification (TIC) leader with container inspection and agricultural cargo services including fumigation verification. Overlaps with Gasmeetstation in customs inspection, fumigation compliance, and cargo safety verification across multiple ports.
• Eurofins Scientific: International testing services group with capabilities in environmental, agricultural, and product safety testing. Comparable in laboratory-backed testing services for hazardous substances and regulated cargo, though primarily lab-based rather than port-operational.

Others

• Royal HaskoningDHV: Dutch engineering and project management consultancy with deep involvement in Rotterdam port operations, terminal design, and industrial safety. Comparable as a Dutch port ecosystem participant with overlapping customer relationships in port logistics and safety compliance.
• APM Terminals: Terminal operator running APMI and APMII facilities adjacent to Gasmeetstation's Maasvlakte depot. Comparable as a Rotterdam deepsea terminal stakeholder and indirect customer/partner, though operating upstream in container handling rather than downstream safety services.
• ECT (Europe Container Terminals): Rotterdam-based deepsea terminal operator with ECT Delta and Euromax facilities adjacent to Gasmeetstation's depot. Comparable as a Rotterdam terminal stakeholder, customer source, and adjacent logistics infrastructure provider, though not a direct safety services competitor.

Regional players

• Katoen Natie: Belgian-headquartered port logistics and warehousing specialist operating major terminals in Antwerp and other European ports. Comparable in providing specialized warehousing, dangerous goods handling, and port-adjacent value-added logistics services, though with broader logistics scope than Gasmeetstation's container safety focus.
