The Port of Rotterdam Authority and Rotterdam Polymer Hub (RPH) signed an allocation agreement regarding a site for two halls for the storage and distribution of polymers. The project is a joint initiative of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, Euro-Rhine Group and entrepreneur Geert Van De Ven.
The two halls will have a combined floor area of 35,000 m² and will be built at Maasvlakte. The selected sites are suited to polymer storage as they are near various deep-sea container terminals, modern infrastructure and good connections with the European hinterland.
RPH expects to take the halls into use in the third quarter of 2019.
As Emile Hoogsteden, the Port of Rotterdam Authority’s Director of Containers, Breakbulk and Logistics informed, the Port decided to build this site in response to growing import flows from the Middle East and the US.
Over the next few months, the partners will be introducing RPH at the EPCA in Vienna, the GPCA annual meeting in Dubai and the Petrochemical Supply Chain & Logistics Conference in Houston.
