Nova Marine Carriers Group has completed a deal to acquire full control of VCK Port Logistics and the Waterland terminal in the Port of Amsterdam, as part of an agreement with partners Aug Bolten Wm Miller’s Nachfolger and Ership Grupo. According to Nova Marine Carriers, the deal allowed the consortium to consolidate management of a strategic asset, considered the only terminal in Europe capable of handling ships in a fully enclosed environment, 24 hours a day, regardless of weather conditions.
As part of the deal, VCK Holding exited the asset after more than 100 years of ownership. Nova Marine Carriers believes that consolidating control creates additional opportunities for the development of specialized port logistics and increased supply chain resilience in Northwestern Europe.
The Waterland terminal has three all-weather LoLo berths and two open RoRo berths. Cargo handling, storage, and distribution operations are carried out 24/7, including the use of humidity-controlled warehouse infrastructure designed, among other things, for the processing and storage of steel products.
