Introduction:

thyssenkrupp Steel is investing in modernizing terminal operations at Ertsoverslagbedrijf Europoort C.V. (EECV) at the Port of Rotterdam.

Features:

With the investment of a mid-double-digit million euro sum, an old ship unloader will be replaced by a state-of-the-art one, strengthening the future of EECV and thyssenkrupp Veerhaven. The new unloader will significantly improve efficiency, environmental friendliness and safety, and is expected to be operational by the end of 2025.

This underlines thyssenkrupp Steel's commitment to a modern infrastructure in the Port of Rotterdam, and sustainable supplies to thyssenkrupp Steel and Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann (HKM) in Duisburg.

Investment in new ship unloader for the Port of Rotterdam
Day in, day out, four powerful grab cranes at EECV's terminal in the Port of Rotterdam will lift iron ore and coal out of the bellies of the large bulk freighters for steel production in the Ruhr region. One of them is rather old, and will now be replaced by a modern, highly efficient ship unloader. The amount of the investment decided by the shareholders is in the mid-double-digit million range.

The project sends a strong signal for the future of EECV and thyssenkrupp Veerhaven, the two Dutch logistics subsidiaries of thyssenkrupp Steel. In the case of the bulk handling facilities of EECV, HKM is also a shareholder. Together, the two companies will ensure the unloading of seagoing vessels and the interim storage and transport of around 24 million metric tons of iron ore and coal for steelmaking in Duisburg, 365 days a year.
