What does it take to develop future-focused projects in the heart of Europe, in the Port of Antwerp-Bruges and Port of Rotterdam? Nancy De Groof, our Vice President Advario Belgium, took the stage at the #Stocexpo conference in Rotterdam, to reflect on changes, opportunities... and the importance of collaboration. Advario strengthened its position in the area in 2023, by acquiring a land lease in the Port of Rotterdam (https://lnkd.in/ea49jGaA). Our Rotterdam site will complement our existing terminals in Antwerp. Our position in Belgium and the Netherlands now covers three different locations, each with a distinct profile. Advario Stolthaven Antwerp (ASA) is a large terminal with a diverse portfolio in chemicals, fuels and gases. On the opposite bank of the river Scheldt we have Antwerp Gas Terminal (AGT), the largest LPG hub in northwestern Europe and our center of gas storage expertise. In Rotterdam, Advario has the opportunity to build the terminal of the future, a terminal focused on green molecules, on a greenfield location at the heart of the Botlek. The three terminals have a different scope, and have different opportunities. Nancy: “At ASA, together with our partner Stolthaven Terminals, our focus is on the renewal and reconfiguration of our chemical park, and the reconversion of petroleum infrastructure for the storage of sustainable fuels. At AGT, together with Fluxys, we look to expand into ammonia storage. At both locations we are part of the conversation on CO2 storage. And in Rotterdam, we are exploring value-adding partnerships that include co-siting with a producer of sustainable products.” “Three different profiles, three different assets,” said Nancy, “But what they have in common is that they all fit Advario’s future-focused strategy, are built on collaboration and deep partnerships, and have the potential to play a pivotal role in the #transition to cleaner energy.”
