Situated along the North Sea, Eemshaven is more than a port: it’s a thriving logistics and energy hub where some 30% of the energy generated by the Netherlands comes from.

Thanks to its strategic position, access to renewable energy and infrastructure this location is already home to some global frontrunners, like Google, Vopak, and RWE. Eemshaven also hosts the NortH2 project, a major production facility for green hydrogen powered by renewable electricity and large power plants and high- and medium-voltage substations. The floating LNG terminal by EemsEnergyTerminal further strengthens the energy infrastructure of Eemshaven.

With the Oostpolder industrial park expansion underway, this location provides an ideal base for logistics, storage, light industry, and energy-related operations.

Located directly on major shipping routes to Antwerp, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and the German Ruhr area, Flevokust strengthens its position as a strategic gateway for businesses targeting both domestic and international markets. Its central position at the crossroads of road, water, and rail connections, makes it a strategic logistics corridor.

Just 50m from the TMA container terminal, the development in Flevokust combines scale with operational efficiency, reducing costs. TMA is expanding its quay and has invested in a mobile crane for heavy and oversized cargo.

The port of Flevokust is a multimodal inland port with an innovative industrial area. The enlargement of the Kornwerderzand lock will make this port even more accessible to sea-going vessels. Altogether, this makes Flevokust an ideal and cost-effective alternative for the ARA region.

Facts

The green logistics warehouse in Ridderkerk is located in the Dutch Fresh Port. Known as leader in the agro and food cluster logistics worldwide. The logistic centre will be developed on a plot of approx. 73,000 m2 with sufficient office space and approx. 620 parking spaces.

The Netherlands is global leader on vegetable export and takes the 4th place in fruit export. Rijerwaard is located between the major logistics corridors (Randstad–German hinterland) A15 and A16 in Ridderkerk. The location is an absolute logistics hub with the ports of Antwerp, Vlissingen and Europe’s largest port of Rotterdam nearby. The port of Rotterdam is also Europe’s premier port for refrigerated and frozen cargo. The Netherlands plays an important role in the trade of fresh fruit and vegetables and is responsible for a fifth of all fresh fruit and vegetables imported into Europe.

The NECRON FOOD PARK I distribution centre is built on a 90,000 m2 site. It offers more than 55,000 m2 GFA including roughly 43,000 m² of warehouse space (on three levels with drive-in racks, partly refrigerated), 11,000 m² of industrial space for food handling, repackaging and ripening and approximately 1,100 m² of office space. The NECRON FOOD PARK I represents the first phase of the 170,000 m2 NECRON FOOD PARK development.

The Rotterdam Food Hub benefits from its prime location right at the entrance to the Port of Rotterdam, its proximity to existing agri-food hotspots, such as the Cool Port and the large cold storage facilities on the Maasvlakte as well as its direct barge, rail and road connections to Europe’s metropolitan areas. The A15 motorway is only 3 km away and offers a direct connection to Rotterdam, Antwerp and Düsseldorf, while the Rotterdam The Hague Airport can be reached in just about half an hour.

The Dutch Fresh Port industrial zone in Ridderkerk is the largest most important centre in the Netherlands for the storage, processing, and shipping of agricultural products and fresh produce. Ridderkerk offers unrivalled logistical advantages thanks to its location in the heart of the country, proximity to the seaport of Rotterdam and direct access to the A15, A16 and A29 motorways.

Facts

• Located at Dutch Fresh Port zone
• Approx. 57,000 m² GFA
• Near to Highways A15, A16 and A29
• Approx.  450 parking spaces
• BREEAM rating “excellent

R&M Forwarding has a special floor for packing and repacking of 3,500 m2 that includes a new citrus washing line, in which we meet the demand of large unloaders from South America and South Africa, for example. We also have at our disposal a complete packaging line for blueberries, which will be packed from bulk into all possible packaging for European supermarkets.”

“Everything revolves around fast loading and unloading times, as are demanded in our industry. This means that we work with drive-in racks, storing pallets up to three high, and in addition we provide extensive pre-cooling areas and sufficient loading docks,” said Rien. “With all the necessary certifications such as AEO and IFS, we can completely unburden our customers so they can concentrate on their own business.”

“The choice of Dutch Fresh Port, as the largest the largest specialized agro/fresh/food cluster in the Netherlands, was not difficult for us, according to general manager Rien van Beek. Many customers are located nearby and, in addition, the location is logistically excellent: central in the Netherlands, close to the Port of Rotterdam and conveniently located to highway A15, A16 and A29.”

This logistics centre in the heart of Aalsmeer will comprise a total building floor space of approximately 250,000 m². With 80,000 m² of logistics space and 170,000 m² housing other functions such as a hotel, light industry, offices, retail and a wide range of other facilities, the campus will be the new place to work, do business, learn, stay overnight and relax. The new 500-room hotel, designed in the style of the former greenhouses in the area, will be the landmark of the logistics area/industrial estate.

The plans for the project were unanimously approved by the Aalsmeer municipal council on 29 September 2022. The development of the entire site is expected to take 5 to 7 years. On 28 October 2022, Green Square Logistics I was completed as the first sub-project of the development. Necron Group AG is financing and developing the high-quality Green Square Logistics II-III project.

The city of Aalsmeer is located in the centre of the Amsterdam metropolitan area, a stone’s throw from Schiphol Airport. It is the world’s largest trade and knowledge centre for floriculture and home to the world’s largest flower auction, Royal FloraHolland, with a daily trade volume of more than 20 million flowers and plants from the Netherlands and 50 other countries.

Extensive attention to sustainable construction means an eye for reducing the ecological footprint within this project. It also makes a generous column spacing possible of 22.8 m and a free height of 12.2 m. The logistics building with a length of 96 meters, width of up to 137 meters and a height up to 14 meters offers 12 loading- and unloading areas and a floor load of 5 t/m². The building is therefore extremely flexible in use possibilities.

The attractive location between Rotterdam and Antwerp on the A29, about 20 minutes from the port of Rotterdam, makes Hoeksche Waard an important hub for last-mile distribution to the Rotterdam metropolitan area and the entire South Holland province, the most densely populated and highly industrialized area in the Netherlands.

Dordrecht has been a hub for the transport and trade of goods since the 12th century due to its location at the “3-river point”, where the Beneden Merwede arm of the Rhine splits into the Noord, the Oude Maas and the Dordtsche Kil. Today, Dordrecht and the surrounding areas of Rotterdam and the Randstad are home to Europe’s largest logistics, smart industry, and maritime network.

Its location approximately 20 km southeast of Rotterdam, directly on the A16 with connections to the N3 and A15, makes the Dordrecht Logistics Center an excellent hub for deliveries to the Randstad and West Brabant regions. A population of 1.3 million can be reached within 30 minutes, while the proximity to Dordtse Zeehaven, the Alblasserdam terminal and the ports of Rotterdam, Moerdijk and Antwerp provide convenient access to major global trade routes.
