HES International, has announced the opening of a new agricultural shed at its terminal in the Port of Amsterdam, Netherlands. This new flat storage facility is designed specifically for agricultural products and incorporates advanced automation for optimised storage and handling processes.

The new shed, with a total capacity of 145,000 m³ (approximately 80,000 tonnes), features over 16 dedicated compartments, ranging from 3,000 to 8,000 tonnes each. This design allows HES International to accommodate a wide range of product categories, meeting diverse customer requirements. This new facility largely replaces the existing storage at the Vlothaven terminal, ensuring a seamless transition for clients.

The construction of this facility is through a collaborative partnership with Cefetra and ADM, Europe’s leading suppliers of agricultural ingredients for animal nutrition, who have been long-time customers of HES International across multiple terminals.

Jeroen van der Neut, COO of HES International says: ‘We are extremely proud to announce the opening of this new shed, which strengthens our leadership position in the industry.’
