Construction of XXL cold store unit commences next to APM Terminals Maasvlakte II Rotterdam

The construction of a super-sized, and specialized 40,000m2 cold storage warehouse, underway next to APM Terminals Maasvlakte II, Rotterdam, will lift the standard of connectivity at the Maasvlakte II site. The specialized warehouse for temperature sensitive or frozen products like pharmaceuticals, fruits, meat or fish is located right next to the Maasvlakte II terminal operated by APM Terminals.

The market is seeing increased demand for products which require storage in specific, low temperatures. This subsequently also creates demand for specialised logistics for transportation, which together, extend the life cycle of perishables and allowing customers to better plan their supply chains..

Due to be operational in Q4 2024, the new facility will have the capacity of an annual flow throughput of more than 43,000 FFE (40 Feet Equivalent Units). The Maersk-owned logistic centre will benefit from proximity to one of Europe’ s most modern terminals, as well as to a new cross-dock facility in Rotterdam, operational in January 2024.

Facts about the cold storage warehouse:

• Customs bonded facility
• Positioned on a strategic location, adjacent to the APMT terminal ground
• Commodities: Fruits, Frozen Fish & Proteins and Pharmaceuticals
• Sustainable facility with BREEAM Excellent certification and renewable energy through solar panels
• Inhouse veterinary inspection point
