Seaway Heavy Lifting signed a contract with Rhenus Logistics which will give it its own offshore yard facilities, warehouse and quayside on the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam (pictured) for 10 years.
The contract, with Rhenus Logistics, started 1 March 2014, and gives Seaway close to 5000sq m of covered warehouse, 35,000sq m of open storage, and quayside for the mooring of up to two Seaway Heavy Lifting vessels.
Seaway Heavy Lifting’s COO Peter de Bree says: “With the facilities at Rhenus Logistics in Rotterdam, it is now possible for us to centralize all our equipment which is presently stored in various locations, both in the Netherlands as well as in other parts of the world.”
Rhenus Logistics, Managing Director Peter van der Steen said the move confirmed the strategic location of the Maasvlakte Deepsea Terminal for shipping companies and offshore contractors in particular.
The firm is also looking to invest in infrastructure for the offshore wind sector, in which it is in the process of setting up a dedicated business unit.
