All Changes at a Glance
For access to our works premises, truck drivers from partner companies will only need a gate check sheet in the future. This is provided with a QR code. This is your new "key" to enter the works premises of thyssenKrupp Steel Europe in Duisburg North. The gate check sheet identifies your transportation procedure and helps the driver to carry out the loading or collection on time and in the correct way.

FAQs
for forwarding agents, drivers and employees
Forwarding agents
Do all drivers need basic safety training?
Yes, all drivers need basic safety training in order to enter the works premises. The safety training can be performed at a self-service terminal in the Dispatch Center at gate 6 and gate 2.
How can I plan my journeys better during the reconstruction phase?
On our website you can find the latest information about the traffic-related restrictions and diversion recommendations.
Can I carry out spontaneous journeys at any time or are there only certain time windows for this?
It is not always absolutely necessary to provide notification of a journey. The precondition for the delivery or collection of material is a valid transport order in our systems. A time window booking is only required for loading points which are time window-controlled.
How long in advance should I plan my journeys using the web tool?
You should plan the journey not later than three days beforehand. Via the logistics web portal you will receive plenty of additional information about your journeys etc. and the anticipated level of use of the works gates on that day.
Will the web tool already be activated during the reconstruction phase?
No, the web portal will not be available until around the middle of 2017.
What happens if I have not entered my journeys in advance using the web tool? Do I then have to expect long waiting times because all of the time windows have already been allotted to others?
If you wish to use a time window-controlled loading point, a time window booking is obligatory. The number of time windows per day is limited.
Drivers
Where do I get the gate check sheet?
The gate check sheet entitles you to drive onto the works premises. You will get the gate check sheet at one of the self-service terminals or from a member of the counter staff in the Dispatch Center at gate 6.
Do I have to pay for the time I stay in the new long-term parking area?
No, the long-term parking area and the use of the sanitary facilities is free of charge. For access to the parking area you need a valid gate check sheet.
Can I still drive through the gates that I am used to at the moment?
You can continue to use the same gates. However, the precondition is a valid gate check sheet or a valid permanent pass.
