LBC Tank Terminals has taken the final investment decision to expand the terminal at Rotterdam-Botlek in The Netherlands with 70,000 cubic meters (18.4 million gallons) of additional capacity, bringing the total capacity of the terminal to 180,000 cubic meters (47.5 million gallons).
This investment is part of a multi-year investment program to revamp and expand the Rotterdam site. The additional capacity is intended to serve the growing market for the storage and trans-shipment of chemicals in the Port of Rotterdam.
Part of the project will consist of the expansion of the newly built deep-sea jetty with two additional berthing positions. The jetty can handle vessels up to 75,000 DWT with a maximum draft of 14.5 meters (47.5 feet).
The project is planned to be completed by Q3 2021.
