Plant 3D Rotterdam

Rotterdam is a major port city in the Dutch province of South Holland, the second largest city in the Netherlands. It is the largest sea port in Europe, the world’s largest port outside of East Asia. In the first half of the 19th century the port activities moved from the city centre westward towards the North Sea. To improve the connection to the North Sea, the Nieuwe Waterweg  (“New Waterway”), a large canal, was designed to connect Rhine and Meuse rivers to the North Sea.

Currently, the large port with deep water draft is home to major chemical and petro-chemical companies operation both refineries and bulk storage facilities arranged mainly along the southern shoreline between Maasvlakte and Pernis.
