Botlek Tank Terminal, Rotterdam offers jetty for direct board-to-board transhipment
04.23.2010 - NEWS
April 23, 2010 [Botlek Tank Terminal / TankTerminals.com] - Until recently, BTT were only allowed to carry out transhipment of edible oils, but as March 1, 2010, BTT are fully licensed for transhipping liquid bulk products such as petrol, diesel, ethanol, MTBE, and chemicals at their sea berth in the Rotterdam Botlek area.

The 420-metre-long sea berth is capable of facilitating two ocean-going vessels of up to 100,000 tonnes DWT simultaneously; 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A 300-metre by 70-metre area is subject to the petroleum regime.
Presently, BTT have performed transhipment for various vessels, to the complete satisfaction of their customers.

Due to their favourable location right at the heart of the Botlek area, featuring excellent hinterland transport connections and a depth of 13.65 metres, BTT are perfectly suited for large vessel board-to-board transhipment.

In mid-March 2010 contracts were signed with Polimex-Mosostal S.A. in Warsaw to effect construction of the initial stage of a substantial expansion of tank storage capacity. Construction activities will commence this very month, and will be completed by the final quarter of 2011. Until then, the sea berth will not be occupied by vessels for storage activities, resulting in ample space available for board-to-board transhipment.
