 All Weather terminals

An all-weather terminal allows handling of moisture and weather-sensitive

products irrespective of meteorological conditions. This innovative concept
reduces the risk of damage to the cargo of coastal vessels and river barges
transporting such goods. It also creates a safer operational environment.

The first such covered terminal was built in the Netherlands (1998) without
external financial support, as the project was deemed too risky. For the
stevedoring company concerned, it generated growth in the volume of weather-
sensitive cargo handled.

Encouraged by the positive reaction of shippers, the company constructed a second

facility in 2002, this time with backing from financial institutions. This innovative
concept generates an increased flow of breakbulk cargo, generating value added
services and transit in a multi-purpose port.
