About This Seaport
Deep-sea tank berths, stainless and mild-steel storage and multimodal connections define Vlaardingen, a port on the Nieuwe Waterway about nine kilometres west of Rotterdam. The independent Vopak terminal here specialises in vegetable oils and fats, oleochemicals, biodiesel and base oils, making Vlaardingen a liquid-bulk location within the Port of Rotterdam rather than a container port. Quays of around 11 m depth handle sea-going vessels alongside barges, rail and trucks, covering every modality for pre- and on-carriage. For shippers of edible oils, biofuels or other liquid bulk it is a concrete option with access to the Dutch hinterland and the Rhine corridor. Container and breakbulk volumes, by contrast, route through Rotterdam's large Maasvlakte and Europoort terminals. Once a herring-fishing harbour, Vlaardingen has reinvented itself as an industrial and tank-storage site.
