HBTT
The most modern liquid Bulk terminal of North-west Europe
We are strategically located in the Port of Rotterdam. The terminal’s state-of-the-art infrastructure boasts ample deep-water berths and facilities which allow for the storage and transshipment of a wide range of liquid bulk products.
The 420-metre long sea jetty is capable of simultaneously handling two large seagoing vessels and two river barges. In 2017, the terminal more than doubled its capacity to 490,000 CBM and it is currently expanding its berth capacity accordingly. A large part of the capacity is used for the storage of clean petroleum products, while the remaining part is dedicated to biofuels.
In 2019, 6 tanks with a total capacity of 20,000 CBM for the storage of biofuels were added to the terminal. As a result, the total capacity of HBTT is now 510,000 CBM.
Storage tanks are equipped with fixed roof tanks with an internal floating roof. The terminal is one of the most environment-friendly tank terminals in the world and is the first terminal in the Netherlands to be awarded ISO 28001 certification.
Safety and care for the environment are top priorities at HBTT. Besides the aforementioned ISO 28001 certification, the company's management system is certified for ISCC, ISO 9001, ISO 14000 and ISO 45001. Furthermore, HBTT is an Authorized Economic Operator (AEO). HES Botlek Tank Terminal provides customers with the safest, most reliable and efficient handling and storage solutions in the Port of Rotterdam.
