Rotterdam expands Vopak Vlaardingen terminal
Vopak Vlaardingen recently expanded its tank capacity by more than 15%, to 500.000 m3, in around 420 tanks. It thereby confirms its position as one of the world’s largest specialised terminals for vegetable oils and fats, biodiesel and oleo chemical products.
Vopak Vlaardingen55,000 m3 of tank space is of stainless steel. The recent expansion consisted of 75,000 m3 in so-called mild steel. With the installation of heavier pumps and accompanying pipe capacity, the handling time for ocean-going and inland vessels has been speeded up. In the coming years, the terminal capacity is to be further increased to 650,000 m3.
