The FNV Havens and CNV unions asserted up to 800 of the 3,700 jobs in the sector of containers would be lost before the end of 2017 as an aftereffect of computerization, which is happening at holder terminals in ports the world over. Automation is the most efficient means to handle mega-ships with with limits of up to 20,000 twenty-foot-proportional units and Rotterdam's Maasvlakte II terminal is completely computerized.

The port authority and the terminal operators have consented to share the estimated 20-million- to 30-million-euro ($22 million to $33 million) cost of the agreement.
