ITC Rubis Terminal Antwerp is a joint venture between Rubis Terminal (France), Intercontinental Terminals Company "ITC" (Houston, USA) and Mitsui & Co Europe (London). These world players have joined forces to construct a new 100,000 CBM terminal in Antwerp, Belgium for the storage and handling of a wide range of liquid chemicals, gases and petroleum products.
The new terminal is located on the Left Bank of the River Scheldt. Antwerp is one of the world's prime locations for the petrochemical industry. The consistent industry growth requires additional infrastructure for marine and land logistics. The terminal will be strengthening the logistic facilities in the Antwerp chemical cluster and will support the growing need for storage of petrochemicals for the Europan market. With time, the joint venture intends to increase the facility up to a capacity of 500,000 CBM.
Construction of the first phase is ongoing and operations actually started in November 2010. The terminal will have a deep-water jetty with 7 berths, capable of handling large size chemical tankers, coasters and barges, as well as rail and truck handling facilities.
It is a unique project with full respect for the environment, using the latest technologies in terms of safety and operations. The site is literally 'just around the corner', at the beginning of the Antwerp Left Bank, especially once the new Deurganck lock will be operational in the 1st quarter of 2016.
International network
This terminal will be part of a strong international network of terminals: ITC in the USA, Rubis Terminal in France and Rotterdam, and Mitsui terminals in Asia.
ITC Rubis Terminal Antwerp will be a strong player in the storage market, equipped with modern state of the art installations and ready to provide safe quality storage for the next decennia, always eager for more business and expansion, with a strong mind for customer satisfaction.
