Belgium-based SEA-Invest group is planning to build a new tanker terminal at the port of Antwerp’s Delwaide dock, with an investment of €250m.
In the first phase, the tanker will have a storage capacity of 750,000m³ for refined products, with plans to add more capacity in the second phase.
During the two-year construction phase, the project is expected to create 500 jobs, and 50 new full-time equivalent jobs will be created once the project completes.
Furthermore, SEA-Invest subsidiary SEA-Tank Terminal will build an additional tank capacity at Delwaide dock in order to serve its customer, Total.
To be built with an investment of €100m, the terminal, which was acquired from Independent Maritime Terminal (IMT), will be shifted from Antwerp port’s Hansa dock to Delwaide dock.
Antwerp Port Authority CEO Eddy Bruyninckx said: “Thanks to the huge interest in the port area we have been able to select projects that offer the highest added value for the port area as a whole.
