Industrial minerals
The port of Rotterdam is an important hub for industrial minerals and other raw materials for the construction, chemical and steel industries in the Netherlands and Europe. Rotterdam is strategically located with excellent connections on the basis of an intermodal network. The extensive offer of transhipment, storage and value-added services, and the presence of a strong chemical cluster make the port of Rotterdam attractive for the import and export of industrial minerals such as alumina, iron alloys, magnesite, salt, borates, sand and gravel.
