| |
The port area has a large cluster of speciality chemical companies. An industrial park concept has been developed whereby, for instance, utilities such as electricity can be purchased collectively thus reducing charges. For fine chemicals and pharma products the proximity of Schiphol airport is important. A strongly growing product sector is fertiliser, produced in the port by Amfert and traded by Cargill.
There is a strong link between oil and chemicals. This can be seen in the 'co-siting' concept between speciality chemical manufacturers and tank storage terminal operators, in which the chemical producers can profit from the tank storage facilities of the storage terminals. For new investments, sites are available close to existing tank terminals. Chemical companies can therefore benefit from lower logistics costs by scaling-up and concentrating on their core business: production. Other factors that convince business to invest in the port include the experienced and multi-lingual labour force and the immediately available public utilities. |
