Simple Transport Agreement

"I need a Simple Transport Agreement for my manufacturing company to contract with ABC Logistics BV for regular transport of non-hazardous industrial equipment between Amsterdam and Rotterdam, starting March 2025, with specific requirements for loading equipment and insurance coverage."

Document background
The Simple Transport Agreement is designed for use in the Netherlands when establishing a formal arrangement between a transport service provider and a client requiring regular transportation services. This document is particularly relevant when parties need a straightforward yet comprehensive agreement that complies with Dutch transportation law and EU regulations. The agreement incorporates key provisions required under Dutch Civil Code Book 8 and includes essential terms covering service specifications, liability regimes, insurance requirements, and operational procedures. It is typically used for ongoing transport arrangements rather than one-off shipments, and can be adapted for various modes of transport while maintaining compliance with Dutch legal requirements. The document serves as a foundational agreement that can be scaled according to the complexity of the transport operations while ensuring legal protection for all parties involved.
