Boluda acquires Rotterdam’s Matrans terminal

Boluda Shipping has acquired Matrans terminal, located in Eemhaven, one of Rotterdam’s main European shortsea shipping hubs.

The acquisition bolsters Boluda Shipping’s port offerings in Northern Europe and expands its range of services for shipping lines, logistics operators and industrial companies. Upon completion of the Samskip acquisition – signed last month – Boluda’s terminal network will comprise 21 maritime terminals and five rail terminals. Both acquisitions will remain subject to the relevant regulatory approvals and closing conditions.

Matrans covers an area of 360,000 sq m, including 70,000 sq m of covered warehousing. It offers 1,100 m of quay with a water depth of 12.65 m, a ro-ro berth with a water depth of 9 m, along with 600 m of railway track.

Its multipurpose capabilities allow the terminal to handle project cargo, general cargo, forest products and metals, containers and ro-ro traffic. The facility boasts in-house Customs management, fiscal representation, road transport and freight forwarding services to offer tailored solutions.
