ACE Terminal: importing ammonia to Rotterdam from 2026

By on April 13, 2022
Gasunie, HES International and Vopak will develop an import terminal for ammonia on Rotterdam’s Maasvlakte, with operations to begin in 2026 under the name ACE Terminal.

New build features include a deep-sea berth for large vessels and possibly an ammonia cracker.
