The Port of Rotterdam and the independent storage company LBC Tank Terminals have reached a long term agreement for the construction of a new jetty at the LBC terminal in Botlek, Rotterdam. ‘This new jetty is the first and a very important step in the expansion of our terminal in Rotterdam. The growing import of liquid chemicals into Europe results in an increasing demand for liquid storage tanks in hubs such as Rotterdam. This investment will enable us to offer additional capacity and to respond even better to the storage requests of existing and new customers’, explains Luc Jorissen, Business President at LBC. The new jetty will have four berths, two for seagoing vessels and two for barges. This will quadruple the jetty capacity of the LBC terminal.

LBC Tank Terminals, one of the largest independent operators of bulk liquid storage terminals & the second largest independent chemical storage company in terms of global storage capacity announce that Chief Financial Officer, Lucas Barry, plans to leave LBC to return to his native Australia. "Lucas has been nothing but a rock solid partner to me and support to the LBC Tank Terminals group since the day he walked in the door just over 3 years ago. His contribution, performance and achievements speak for themselves." said Brett Simpson, CEO of the LBC Group.
