Hutchison Ports to acquire APM Terminals Rotterdam container terminal

Hutchison Ports Netherlands B.V., a subsidiary of Hutchison Ports, has signed an agreement with APM Terminals (APMT) to acquire the APMT Rotterdam (APMTR) container terminal.

APMTR, located adjacent to Hutchison Ports’ existing ECT Delta terminal in the Maasvlakte area of Europe’s largest port, has 1,600 m of deep-water quay serviced by 13 ship-to-shore (STS) gantry cranes.

Rolf Nielsen, head of hub terminals APMT, said: “Over the past eighteen months, the various parties have worked intensively and constructively together with all relevant parties, including APMTR’s works council and trade unions, to complete the transaction.”
