Hoogendoorn Transport

What Hoogendoorn Transport does

Hoogendoorn Transport B.V. is a privately held Dutch logistics company that has operated for over seven decades from its base in the Rotterdam port area. The company delivers a full "A-to-Z" logistics chain for businesses engaged in international trade, covering road transport under AVC 2002/CMR, freight forwarding under Dutch Expeditievoorwaarden 2004, warehousing under Algemene Opslagvoorwaarden, customs clearance including gas-free declarations and PD inspections, container stuffing/stripping, and sea freight shipping. It also operates an in-house vehicle garage under Bovag TDA conditions, providing maintenance for its own fleet. Operations are run from two locations: the headquarters at Nieuwesluisweg 170 in Rotterdam-Botlek (harbor number 5028) and a satellite facility at Molendijk 156 in Krimpen aan de Lek.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-business: services are quoted per project or shipment, with revenue generated through transaction fees across four primary streams — transport, customs/expedition, storage and warehousing, and garage services. Its primary customer segment is businesses requiring international logistics solutions, particularly those with cross-border shipping, customs, and container handling needs. The firm holds AEOF, AEOC, and AEOS Authorized Economic Operator certification from the Netherlands/EU, providing preferential customs treatment and a regulatory advantage in the Rotterdam market. No public pricing, no proprietary technology platforms, and no digital customer-facing tools are disclosed.

The business model is asset- and labor-intensive traditional logistics rather than technology-enabled; there is no disclosed revenue, no outside funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no public listing. Ownership structure, management team, and headcount beyond the 11–50 employee band are not disclosed in available sources. Marketing is limited to a basic Dutch-language corporate website (hoogendoorn-transport.nl), with no social media presence, no app, and no API integrations.
