Ter Haak provides transportation for the African community in the Netherlands
Amsterdam, 21 June 2010 - Shipping companies like to minimise the number of empty containers they take back after delivering cargo at a port. The Ter Haak Group works towards a better use of these export containers through its subsidiary Cargo Company IJmond (CCY), which focuses on return freight for both businesses and individuals. Ghanaians and Nigerians in Amsterdam especially appreciate this possibility, and frequently send reusable goods to their homelands via containers. This special activity of Ter Haak recently attracted the attention of the local TV channel AT5, which featured it in the show AmsterdamInc.
Art-on a Box container for charity
Amsterdam, 7 June 2010 – During the Amsterdam World Cup 2010, former football player Raymond Cuipers painted the 11th ART-on-a-BOX container. Cuipers started as an artist when playing for Dutch premier league club Roda JC, and wrote a novel about his double life called ‘Kunstenaar op Kaalheide’ (artist in the Kaalheide stadium). ART-on-a-BOX is a unique project in which artists decorate sea containers to promote the city of Amsterdam as a logistic hub and container port. Exhibited at various art and trade exhibitions, the creative containers are also used to carry cargo around the world.
