HES BULK TERMINAL AMSTERDAM
The gateway in IJmuiden and Amsterdam for dry bulk products for the Northwest-European market.
We are a multipurpose dry bulk terminal operator with strategically located terminals in the Port of Amsterdam. Our flexible fleet of floating cranes can be used throughout the entire Amsterdam port area.
We are specialized in transhipment, storage and processing of a variety of dry bulk products. Since the start in 1954, we have built an outstanding track record in providing high quality service to customers in various industries, e.g. the steel and animal feedstuff industry. With the high quality covered and open storage capacity we are capable of handling an annual volume of up to 22 million tons of various dry bulk products.
Modern facilities guarantee fast and efficient unloading and loading of the largest seagoing vessels, as well as barges, trains and trucks. In addition, we offer multiple added-value services such as screening, blending and washing. The excellent water, rail and road connections combined with the outstanding transhipment and storage capabilities enable us to meet today’s customer demands, as well as the challenges of the future.
That is exactly why we have invested in a new 40,000 cbm multipurpose shed to further diversify into other dry-bulk products, products that often require high quality covered storage and state of the art processing equipment. This multipurpose shed is located at a storage area previously used for the storage of steam coal.
