One connected network.
Seven terminals across fourteen sites in four countries. Deepwater gateways linked to Europe’s industrial hinterland.
HES operates as one European system, where every terminal has a defined role within the wider network. Use the map to find the right terminal, see what it handles, and understand how cargo moves from coast to hinterland.

Industrial areas served by HES
Agricultural areas (Production & Processing)
Major power, steel and mineral production & processing areasAcross the network
The independent link between the ship and the hinterland.
We're the connection between deep water and the hinterland: receiving, storing and moving cargo for whoever owns it. Independence is what makes that possible; trading houses, majors and regional players all rely on the same neutral infrastructure.
Shipping Line
Ocean vessels arrive at some of Europe's deepest berths, Capesize and VLCC alongside.
Unloading
Cargo off the vessel and into the terminal or straight onto railcars, trucks or barges.
Storage
Covered or uncovered, in the conditions needed. Long-term contracts or spot.
Value-Added
Processing, customisation, packaging, forwarding, agencies and transport.
Loading
Back onto vessels, railcars, trucks or barges for onward maritime or hinterland shipping.
Hinterland Logistics
Cargo carries on inland by barge, rail, truck and pipeline, into industrial Europe.
- Barge Network
- Rail Corridors
- Pipeline Hubs
- Truck Fleet
ONE HES, one network.
Most customers use more than one of our terminals. Because our network works as one company, they can combine storage, handling and processing across locations, with the added value created right here at the terminal.
Where motion concentrates
The same terminals, converted for what comes next.
New Energies builds on infrastructure that already earns its keep. The quays, tanks and jetties moving today's bulk are the same assets converting for tomorrow's cargo. Here's what each one moves today and what it's becoming.
Deepwater dry bulk · Preparing
HES Bulk Terminal Rotterdam
23 metres of draft doesn’t care what’s in the hold. The quays that take Capesize iron ore will take CO₂ back out.
- Iron ore
- Coking coal
- Steam coal
- CO₂ export
- Ammonia import
North Sea liquid · Preparing
HES Wilhelmshaven Tank Terminal
A deepwater jetty and tank terminal built for demanding liquid bulk, sitting on the shortest line from German industry to the North Sea.
- Liquid bulk
- CO₂ export
- H₂ backbone
- LOHC
Liquid bulk · Converting now
HES Botlek Tank Terminal
Same tanks, different molecule. Botlek didn’t wait for the transition — it’s already heading for roughly 65% biofuels by 2026.
- Oil products
- Biofuels
Mediterranean gateway · Tomorrow
Fos-sur-Mer
A Mediterranean gateway parked inside a heavy-industry cluster that has to decarbonise. The customers are already neighbours.
- Break bulk
- Minerals
- Decarbonisation logistics

The inland industrial and agricultural regions that each coastal terminal connects to. Reached by barge, rail, road, and pipeline.
Seven terminals across fourteen sites in the Netherlands, Germany, Poland and France. Each with deepwater access and multimodal hinterland connections.
Some terminals operate as joint ventures with partners. Ownership and governance differ by site.
