We are one of the largest dry bulk terminals in Europe, strategically located in the Port of Rotterdam. The biggest seagoing vessels from all over the globe berth along our quays.
Around 80% of the dry bulk products at HBTR are transported to the German hinterland by either the extensive rail network or the waterways. We are a logistical partner for customers in the steel industry, silicon metal industry and the energy sector. Continuous investments over the past years have resulted in a highly automated dry bulk terminal which is unique in its operational flexibility and efficiency. Much of the equipment is electrically powered. HBTR has chosen to use durable, high quality machines and components with a long lifespan, built according to responsible manufacturing methods. Standards are in place at HBTR regarding an ethical, safe and socially and environmentally responsible performance.
In addition to the loading, unloading, storage and transhipment of various dry bulk products, our terminal offers added-value services such as the screening, blending and washing of coal (for the silicon metal industry) upon request as well.

If necessary, stockpiles and open areas are covered with a protective layer as a precautionary measure. To prevent combustion, HBTR can compact the stored coal.
