SCA - a Swedish producer of forest products, such as paper for the newspaper and magazine market, containerboard for the packaging-industry and personal care products (brands such as Edet, Tempo, Plenty, Demak up Libresse and Tena) – will expand its terminal in the Eemhaven by adding a part of the former ECT City terminal. SCA Logistics and the Port of Rotterdam agreed on Thursday 13 October. The agreement includes an extension of 3 hectares with a quay length of 208 m adjacent to the existing terminal SCA Logistics (havennummer2800). Besides the yard expansion parties have also reached agreement on a renewed contract, including a contract extension until 2050.
Following the recent development of Coolport by Kloosterboer, SCA Logistics is the second company to redevelop a part of the former ECT City Terminal. The Port Authority is planning a so-called short-sea logistics cluster for intra-European traffic in the remaining part of the ECT City Terminal. In the Waal-Eemhaven most of the Rotterdam shortsea activities and intra-European freight are concentrated.
