Specialized supply chain services for Chemical Goods cargo
Taiwan
Netherlands
The ocean route from Kaohsiung to Rotterdam is strategically advantageous for the transport of industrial chemicals due to its extensive shipping lanes and well-established maritime networks. This pathway allows for the efficient movement of specialty chemicals, minimizing the risk of damage and contamination during transit. Additionally, the deep-water ports facilitate the handling of large cargo volumes, ensuring that chemical goods reach their destinations in optimal condition.
Kaohsiung's port is equipped with advanced facilities designed to handle hazardous materials, including specialized storage and loading systems for chemical products. In Rotterdam, one of Europe's largest ports, there is a robust infrastructure that supports the processing and distribution of industrial chemicals, with ample tank storage and dedicated terminals for chemical goods. Both ports offer seamless connectivity to inland transportation networks, enhancing the overall supply chain efficiency.

When shipping from Kaohsiung to Rotterdam, prepare for the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing flexible routing options. During the peak export periods (August-November), anticipate tighter capacity and longer dwell times, necessitating early bookings and additional buffer days. Additionally, plan for the impact of the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) on factory output and logistics, and ensure timely coordination with carriers to avoid delays during this festive season.

Moving moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates Sealed primary containers, Barrier liners or overbags, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also clearly note “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and not use open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.
For most regulated chemical goods, tested and approved packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The Exact UN packaging code and performance level Depend on the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Verify with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most specialty chemicals shipments must include a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and Accurate labels and markings that Match the classification. Best practice is including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any licenses required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.
You may be able to consolidate different chemical products, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. Always check the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other Chemical goods do not conflict. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because specialty chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance Is strongly recommended. Review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
Chemicals require specialized handling during transport, including proper packaging to prevent leaks, temperature control for sensitive materials, and adherence to safety regulations. It is essential to ensure that containers are labeled correctly according to international standards for hazardous materials.
Shipping chemicals from Taiwan to the Netherlands requires compliance with both Taiwanese export regulations and EU import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary permits, ensuring proper documentation such as Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and adhering to REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations in the EU.
