Broekman DistriPort unloads first ship on new quay
02-09-2010
On 8 February, the first ocean-going vessel, the ‘Star Leikanger’ from Singapore, arrived at the new Broekman DistriPort quay. The Port of Rotterdam Authority has invested € 13 million in the new quay, to double the terminal’s capacity.
The ‘Star Leikanger’ had a cargo of non-ferrous on board, destined for Pacorini. In total, 7839 tonnes of aluminium were unloaded. With the new ‘deep-sea quay’, Broekman DistriPort now has a second berth for vessels with a length of up to 243 metres and a draught of up to 12.50 metres. The quay completes an expansion of the terminal by 6 hectares of ground and 15,000 m2 of shed space. The terminal was designed to handle large consignments of metals, steel and project cargo.
