Through its subsidiary Amsterdam Multipurpose Terminal (AMT), the Grimaldi Group has recently acquired strategic assets and a 20-year concession in the port of Amsterdam. The Neapolitan company announced it in a press release.
The assets that AMT purchased from EMA are located in the Amerikahaven area of the Dutch capital’s port. They cover an area of over 200,000 m2 that includes storage areas, warehouses and logistics areas adjacent to them, as well as two quays – the first, about 500 metres long, dedicated to ships used on deep sea routes, and the second, about 300 metres long, reserved for mooring vessels serving short sea routes.
The Parthenopean Group holds an 80% stake in AMT, a new terminal company set up when the terminal in the port of Amsterdam was acquired, The remaining 20% is held by TMA Holding, a Dutch logistics company with extensive experience in terminal and warehouse management.
“Our investment in the port terminal indicates the willingness of our Group to strengthen its position in the port of Amsterdam,” said Guido Grimaldi, President of AMT. “We will aim to facilitate the development of the port, improving the services offered to the Dutch market and businesses while exploiting and enhancing its great potential as a multimodal logistic hub, thanks to its numerous road, rail, sea and river connections to and from the rest of Northern Europe.”
With its deep sea links, the Grimaldi Group has been calling at the port of Amsterdam for over 25 years now. Currently the port is part of the Central Express service, which regularly connects Northern Europe to West Africa for the transport of rolling stock, containers, general and project cargo.
