Transport & handling

Environmental Terminal in Vlissingen-Oost

At our Environmental Terminal, in the port area of Vlissingen-Oost, we can assist you in the short and medium-term storage, transhipment, and handling of materials that need a liquid-proof flooring (2.5 hectares) and separate sewerage systems.

Thanks to the ideal location of our terminal, near important deep-sea waters as well as inland waterways, and with excellent connections to the hinterland road network, you can choose from a combination of any transport mode you require.

 

Our terminal's features include:

•  Liquid-proof flooring covering over 25 thousand square metres, suitable for heavy equipment
• A closed sewerage system with a buffer tank of one thousand cubic metres
• A stationary and a mobile spraying system to control dust
• A quay measuring 180 metres, bordering a sea port with a draught of 7.5 metres at Low Low Water Spring. There are no bridges or other obstructions between our quay and the open sea
• The quay is suitable for heavy loads and load in / load out of heavy objects
• The quay is suitable for ocean-going vessels, coasters and inland barges
• Weighbridge (70 tons)
• Fully screened off with secure fending and concrete elements measuring 2.5 metres in height and two sliding gates measuring 18 metres and barriers to the access road. The fencing meets ISPS guidelines

Our environmental permit includes a wide variety of substances and activities. The following categories are included:

•  Clean and contaminated soil
• Construction materials (including sand, mixed granulate, recycling materials)
• Waste materials (including A, B and C grades of wood, construction and demolition waste, certified rubble)

Even board-to-board transhipment is possible, whereby we can use a floating crane. In addition, we will take every technical and/or organisational precaution necessary to prevent discharge of substances into the surface water. If necessary, we can carry out virtually any processing action needed, including breaking, screening, sorting, etc.

We always keep a close eye on new developments. If you are looking for a solution to an application not mentioned on this site, please don't hesitate to contact us. Together, we will certainly come up with a solution.
