A new jetty at Rotterdam LBC Tank Terminals is ready to welcome vessels, as LBC Tank Terminal Rotterdam achieved an important milestone in their expansion project “Rainbow,” with the berthing of the first vessel at the new jetty.
The LBC Tank Terminals Group is currently expanding the LBC Rotterdam site in the Botlek area of Rotterdam, the petrochemical heart of the Port. The jetty is a result of the collaboration between the Port of Rotterdam and LBC Tank Terminals.

The aim of the project is to triple the current capacity and improve jetty and land infrastructure. A big part of the project is the construction of new tanks. The first new tanks became fully operational over one month ago.
The new jetty will be extended in such a way that four berthing positions will be available; two for seagoing vessels and two for barges. This will increase by 4 times the jetty capacity.
The jetty aims to facilitate seagoing vessels with a maximum draft of up to 13 meters, in a way that it could welcome larger vessels in the future when the Nieuwe Waterweg in the Botlek area is deepened.
