HES Hartel Tank Terminal is developed in the Port of Rotterdam’s Maasvlakte area. The state of the art terminal will offer 1.3 million cbm storage capacity for clean petroleum products (gasoline, diesel, gasoil and jet fuel) and biofuels. It is specifically designed for blending and mixing operations. The terminal will comply with the highest safety and environmental standards and latest regulations.  Maasvlakte is an excellent location for a liquid bulk terminal, offering a VLCC draft terminal with direct access to sea.

The quay with length of 1.2 km and draft up to 23.6 m will offer 6 mooring positions for sea-going vessels including VLCC’s.  The nine barge positions provide excellent opportunities for shipments to the European hinterland. The location offers opportunities for further expansions.
