The Port Authority of Busan issued with the the Port of Rotterdam Authority a Letter of Intent for the allocation of a 5 to 10 hectare site on the Maasvlakte Distribution Park West. It is the second LOI signed in a short time for this distribution site, which is considered as a premium logistics location.
The Maasvlakte Distribution Park is linked by road, rail and water and is located very near to high-frequency deep-sea and short-sea connections. The new Distripark is also located conveniently for the A15, the Maasvlakte Plaza Truck parking area, the existing Maasvlakte Distripark and the freight rail links between Maasvlakte and the European hinterland.
The Busan Port Authority wants to develop a warehouse environment that implements sustainable strategies on the Maasvlakte Distribution Park West in order for multiple, mainly Korean, service providers to operate in the reserved space.
Along with the previous agreement, this means that 15 to 20 hectares of the total available 100 hectares have already been reserved.
I see particularly good opportunities for the chemical industry, cold storage and the distribution of high-quality freight.
Maarten de Wijs, Business Manager Distribution and Warehousing of the Port of the Rotterdam Authority stated in the Port of Rotterdam report.
Furthermore, he added that the part of the Maasvlakte Distribution Park West that is still available will be allocated in plots of various sizes. In combination with the fact that there are no construction height restrictions, Maasvlakte Distribution Park West is an extremely suitable option for the development of large-scale distribution.
