Construction of container terminal in Leeuwarden
In January, MSC got under way with construction of a new container terminal in the Leeuwarden at the Port of Rotterdam. The sheet pile wall is already in place and pile driving has begun.
The terminal will be located alongside the Van Harinxma Canal and will cost €8.5m. The canal will also have a turning basin so that 110m container ships will be able to turn. The terminal is due to be completed in the summer of 2012.
Every week, four container ships will sail to and from Rotterdam from the terminal. The company has a five year contract to carry the containers for FrieslandCampina.
