3 kilometres of new deep-sea quays in sight for Rotterdam

Nieuwsblad Transport reported yesterday that it involved 2.4 km of additional quays, but the Port of Rotterdam Authority today explains to Flows that it is 3 km. With this expansion, Rotterdam wants to further strengthen its leading position as Europe’s largest container port. In Nieuwsblad Transport, a spokesperson says: “That is why we are already investing in expanding the Princess Amaliahaven. This is good for our customers, is cost-efficient and strengthens Rotterdam’s competitive position.” The spokesman denied today that this planned expansion is the answer to the port of Antwerp’s expansion plans. “Our CEO Allard Castelein already talked about this in the middle of last year during the presentation of the half-year figures. To my knowledge, the concrete plans for the expansion of the port of Antwerp were not known at that time.”
