APMT celebrates opening of Maasvlakte II container terminal
APM Terminals (APMT) has launched the “world’s most technologically advanced container terminal” as its Maasvlakte II container terminal at the Port of Rotterdam was officially opened.
Kim Fejfer, APMT CEO, said: “APMT Maasvlakte II is a game-changer in the shipping industry designed to exceed our customers’ expectations. It is significantly safer for our people and all users of the port. It runs on a zero emissions, sustainable business model using renewable energy, benefiting the people of Rotterdam and Europe.”
APMT Maasvlakte II took three years to build, costing €500m (US$544m). The facility was constructed on land reclaimed from the North Sea, designed as a multi-modal hub targeted at reducing truck congestion in favour of barge, rail and inland traffic and is being hailed as a highly environmentally sustainable facility.
