Boluda Shipping to acquire Matrans terminal in Rotterdam

Boluda Shipping is further expanding its logistics activities in Europe with the planned acquisition of the Matrans terminal in Rotterdam’s Eemhaven. With the purchase, the Spanish maritime service provider aims to strengthen its position in Northern Europe.

The terminal offers facilities for the transshipment and storage of a wide range of goods and is connected to both the rail and road networks.

The Matrans site covers 360,000 square metres, including 70,000 square metres of covered storage. The terminal has 1,100 metres of quay with a draught of 12.65 metres and a separate RoRo berth with a draught of 9 metres. In addition, the site has 600 metres of rail track. Freight handled there includes containers, forest products, metals, general cargo, project cargo and RoRo freight.

The services go beyond transshipment alone. Matrans also provides customs clearance, fiscal representation, road transport and freight forwarding. The combination of sea, rail and road offers opportunities to organise freight flows more efficiently and reduce CO₂ emissions, according to Boluda.
