SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR DELIVERING GOODS IN TRANSIT

For truck drivers (truckers)

PRINCIPLE: Access to the EUROGATE Container Terminal in Wilhelmshaven is only granted on foot of a permit (Trucker Card) issued by the operator and subject to compliance with the safety regulations at the premises. The permit that is issued is specific to a particular individual and does not entitle that individual to bring company or other people onto the terminal site. Pedestrian and vehicular access to the terminal is only granted for business-related purposes. Visits to the terminal are not considered to be business-related and all such visits must be booked through management or the Communications department. Non-compliance will result in the withdrawal of the Trucker Card and the issuing of a ban from the premises. Exceptions from the safety regulations can be applied for in writing from the management or the Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO). EUROGATE Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven GmbH & Co. KG assumes no liability for damage or other consequences caused as a result of entering the container terminal, unless there has been gross negligence on the part of the company boards, committees or senior managers of EUROGATE Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven GmbH & Co. KG.
