Here I was... thinking the carbon based economy was on its last legs...
HES International is developing a tank terminal for the storage and transshipment of so-called "clean petroleum products" are stored at the terminal, such as diesel, gas oil and petrol, on the Hartelstrook, south side of the Mississippihaven on Maasvlakte 1.
Transhipment of oil products in Rotterdam has increased sharply in recent years. In twenty years, the volume has increased almost fivefold to around 90 million tons. Developments such as the HES Hartel Tank Terminal show that this trend has not yet come to an end, especially for 'clean petroleum products'. This is partly due to the increasing worldwide trade in oil products and differences between the supply and demand of oil products on the various continents.
On the 27 hectare site 54 tanks with a capacity of 1.3 million m3 will be built. Seagoing vessels can moor at the quay with six berths up to VLCCs (Very Large Crude Carriers).
The entire terminal is expected to be completed in 2020.
