1 Newsletter 1 December 2nd Dear member of the IFA Family, Short after our meeting in Bangkok, October 2015, you receive here the first Newsletter for our next meeting. We will stay close to you, just like a family does. After a surprise to get the IFA pin and the promotion till director of the IFA group I walking with a proud feeling and a big smile on my face. It s an honour to organize the 7th AGM for the Group IFA in Rotterdam, the Netherlands in September We will welcome you with a lot of pleasure and will show you a part of the Netherlands from his best side, the Gateway to Europe The Port of Rotterdam. We did have already some meetings with possible Hotels in our area and are in contact with the board of The Port of Rotterdam and Airport Schiphol to give you a special presentation of the possibilities from Rotterdam and airport Amsterdam/Rotterdam. In our first Newsletter, we will give you some information about our beautiful country, The Netherlands. Secular History There are few nations that must be constantly alert to keep the sea from overwhelming much of their land. But the Netherlands (meaning Lowlands ) is such a place. To the west and the north beyond the natural dunes and man-made dikes, lies the North Sea. Yet, on more than one occasion that sea covered large portions of what is now the most fertile land. 1

2 Another feature of this country is suggested by the name Holland. Because of the woods that once stretched behind the dunes in the west, that part of the country was known as Houtland (Timberland), which was later changed to Holland. Although the Netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, there are still some fairly large woodlands in the central and eastern regions. LAND AND PEOPLE CLIMATE Temperate maritime climate, influenced by the North Sea, with moderate winters, moderate summers, and rainfall throughout the year relatively POPULATION 16.8 million LANGUAGES SPOKEN Dutch and Frisian are both official languages in the Netherlands. Besides these, there are 30 other regional and city dialects. Twenty percent of the population has a mother tongue other than Dutch. In the four biggest cities Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht over 110 languages are spoken. After Dutch, the languages spoken most are Turkish, Hindi, Arabic, English, and Berber. CULTURE AND FOOD Enjoy the rich history of the Netherlands, historic cities and sites such as castle s (Muiderslot, De Haar, Doorwerth and Ammersoyen for example). Cities with typical Dutch canals and fortifications, like Utrecht, Amsterdam, Delft, Leiden and Haarlem. Besides that, think of painters like Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Johannes Vermeer and Frans Hals. Would you like to see their work? There are many museums that exhibit their work. And then there are windmills, tulips, dikes, wooden shoes and ships. 2

3 Do you like cheese? Then the Netherlands (also called Holland) is the place to be. Not just the cheese coming from Gouda or Edam are a good choice, but there are many more varieties, both in shape and in flavour. Did you know that the almost 17 million inhabitants of the Netherlands own, and use, some 19 million bicycles? There are even specially reserved bicycle lanes of paths (almost 35,000 kilometre or 21,700 miles). THE SEA Half of the more than 16 million people in the Netherlands, or Low Countries, live and work below sea level. The country may be low and small, but it is among the world s richest nations. Interestingly, the Netherlands owes much of its prosperity to the sea. An important reason why the Dutch, the inhabitants of the Netherlands, choose to stay in this region is the fertility of the land. It is well suited for agriculture, horticulture, and cattle raising. And because Europe s major rivers flow into the sea here, the country s location is also economically strategic. No wonder that the Netherlands including Rotterdam harbour, one of the world s largest ports is called the gateway to Europe! There are also many lakes that are scattered over the western and northern parts of the country. Yes, there is water in abundance, and because of it, Holland has always been associated with dikes, windmills, and wooden shoes. NEXT In the next newsletter(s) we will show you some information about the port of Rotterdam, the Gateway to Europe, and sure we will let you know something more about the airport The Hague Rotterdam and Schiphol International Airport. The customs rules and the reason why you must learn to trust your business partner in the Port of Destination or Loading. Learn from each other. 3

4 If you will tell your family members some news about your company or new activities, please let me know and we will write this in the next Newsletter, Nr. 2 from February MARO Forwarding & Logistics BV After our meeting in October we ll see more first steps to a long term cooperation with different agents from the IFA Group. Thanks for your trust in MARO. We will increase our staff per February 2016, more about this in the next newsletter. Further on the crew from MARO F&L can inform you that we will start with NVOCC activities, we did load with our partner in India the first FCL/LCL Container to Europe, final destination Switzerland. A second FCL/LCL with destination Rotterdam will be loaded mid-december. We are proud on this first LCL/LCL business and wish that we can start in 2016 from more ports and to more destinations our own FCL/LCL Containers. We start also in 2016 our Road Groupage service between Germany, Industry area Ludwigshafen / Mannheim to the Port of Rotterdam. Our trucks will have 5 trips a week, a daily service, from and to this area. Our plans are to open in 2016 also our own office just in the Port of Rotterdam and start from there the NVOCC / FCL/LCL activities, more in our next newsletter. Will you tell the members some news, about your activities, interesting news from your country or port? Send me an with your information for the next newsletter. Thanks in advance. Will you share good news? Please send us your text and we will use it next time. Wil you come to the AGM in Rotterdam? Did you find already a company to introduce during the next AGM in September? 4

5 Maybe you can make a combination to visit the AGM and some customers in the Netherlands, we will guide you if you want.
