RWG to keep growing
The handling capacity of the container terminal Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG) is set to increase by 1.8 million teu. This improvement is part of the new expansion plan that has been drawn up for the Prinses Amaliahaven on the Maasvlakte in the Port of Rotterdam.
RWG will be expanded by about 450,000 sqm in terms of terminal site and 920 m of quay wall and will be operational by the end of 2025. The expansion will be fully automated and carbon-neutral, just like the existing terminal.
The Port of Rotterdam Authority aims to strengthen the competitive position of the port as a logistics hub and industrial complex. Ronald Lugthart, CEO of RWG, commented: “We are investing not only in additional capacity, but also in further logistics and hinterland connectivity with forward-looking facilities and partnerships.” (lh)
