Bulk Terminal Zeeland signs contract with Zeeland Seaports

Following successful talks with Zeeland Seaports Port Company, Bulk Terminal Zeeland B.V. (BTZ) signed a contract on 10 July to lease a site in the port of Vlissingen. BTZ plans to use the site on the Quarleshaven to store and process bulk goods. Access to the site is via a quay that can accommodate ships with a maximum length of 225 meters. The arrival of BTZ marks an important development, which provides good commercial opportunities for the parties involved. This new player in the Zeeland port will also generate 50 to 100 direct and indirect jobs

“We looked at the possibilities in the port after noticing a need for bulk goods processing, and that’s where our journey began,” says managing director of BTZ, Marijn van Nispen. “It was a long road, which ultimately led to a very positive result, thanks particularly to the extremely good working relationship with the commercial department of Zeeland Seaports,” according to Van Nispen.

“The port of Vlissingen has excellent infrastructure, which BTZ can utilize. Vlissingen is just an hour’s sail from the North Sea and has very good access to the European hinterland, by road, rail and inland shipping. So there are plenty of opportunities for a successful bulk operation”, concludes Van Nispen.
