Towing and recovery in Botlek & Maasvlakte
In Botlek, Europoort and on the Maasvlakte the port runs day and night. Trucks, trailers and company vans move constantly, often under time pressure. If your vehicle breaks down on the A15, at a terminal or on a port site, call us. For heavy recovery we bring in a partner with the right equipment.

Broken down in a difficult spot
On the A15 through the port area most traffic is freight. Never wait on the hard shoulder — stand behind the guardrail. On the Botlek Bridge and in the Botlek Tunnel follow the traffic control instructions.
Exactly what to do when you break down is in our guide breakdown on the motorway.
Truck broken down at a terminal or on a port site
You cannot simply drive onto terminals and closed sites. Give the terminal name, gate and contact person. Tell the gatekeeper a tow truck is coming — that saves waiting at the barrier.
For a truck with a trailer we need to know in advance whether the trailer is loaded, whether hazardous goods are involved, and whether the tractor unit can uncouple. For hazardous loads always call 112 first. With that information the partner chooses the right recovery truck.
For a van or passenger car a standard flatbed is enough. If you work on the Maasvlakte and your car will not start after a shift, name the company car park and the number plate so the driver can find you quickly.
Roadside assistance in Botlek & Maasvlakte
For passenger cars and vans a jump start or tyre change can usually be done on the spot. For trucks it depends on the fault: sometimes a mechanic is enough, sometimes recovery is needed. Tell us what the vehicle is doing. More about truck roadside assistance in Botlek and on the Maasvlakte.
