September 24, 2014 [ADPO] - Ineos Phenol Belgium NV and ADPONV signed a cooperation agreement, which will give ADPO LLH water access to the river Scheldt via the existing INEOS Phenol jetty and will connect the INEOS Phenol site to the European rail.
Supported by the cooperation with company neighbour Ineos Phenol Belgium, ADPONV is building a new 12 ha tank storage terminal on the left bank of the river Scheldt in the Port of Antwerp. This terminal will be named ADPO Liefkenshoek Logistic Hub or ADPO LLH. Phase 1 of this already ground breaking project will contain 27.000m3 mild steel and 10.000m3 stainless steel tank storage capacity, a 10.000 m2 chemical warehouse and a 3 ha iso container storage parking. In a second phase there is expansion land for another 3 tank compounds containing 60.000m3 tank storage capacity.
ADPO also invests in a state of the art loading platform for tank cars and an extensive railway infrastructure (1500 m rail track length on site with integrated weighing bridges).
The INEOS Phenol jetty will be expanded with a ship position of 20.000 mt dwt capacity.
Ineos Phenol and ADPO also realise a cluster for utilities which will have a positive impact on environmental aspects.
Referring to the statements of the management of Ineos Phenol and ADPO LLH :
“This agreement is a perfect example of a win-win scenario where both parties cross benefit from. Ineos Phenol facilitates the access to the River Scheldt for ADPO LLH and ADPO LLH enhances the logistics i.e. tank storage with pipeline connections to the Ineos Phenol site and create intermodal shift opportunities (rail) to Ineos Phenol”.
The commissioning of this new terminal is scheduled for Q2 2015.
