With this new multipurpose facility, the company’s existing storage capacity of 650 000 m3 has increased to 700 000 m3, strengthening its position as a leading provider of covered storage for dry bulk products in the Port of Rotterdam.
The new facility is situated at the EBS Europoort location and has a capacity of 50 000 m3. It is suitable for the storage of agricultural products and consists of seven separate sections. The design is carried out with a strong focus on flexibility for customers and stringent safety and environmental standards. Products can be loaded onto barge, rail, and truck to continue on to their final destination.
A long-term contract with a customer has already been concluded for this new facility, the construction of which was executed by Zu¨blin Nederland, part of the European Strabag construction group, within agreed budget and timeline.
EBS’s covered storage capacity now totals 700 000 m3 and is well on track in executing a multi-year masterplan to extend its covered storage capacity by 350 000 m3 – of which 236 000 m3 has now been realised. Furthermore, a permit for yet another new warehouse at the EBS Botlek location has already been obtained. A tender process for construction companies is underway.
