Vopak plans 140,0003 expansion at Vlaardingen terminal

Vopak, an independent bulk liquid storage provider, is expanding its Vlaardingen storage terminal in the Netherlands with the construction of 52 new tanks, according to the Port of Rotterdam.

The company knocked down 85 storage tanks at the site in 2012, which totalled 50,000m3. The replacement infrastructure will be able to handle 140,000m3 of product, which could be vegetable/animal fats or biodiesel, among other things.

The new storage tanks will enter operation later this year.
