Coal boom with Rhenus Midgard in Wilhelmshaven
Rhenus Bulk Terminal Wilhelmshaven (BTW) handled more than 500,000 tonnes of coal in July 2014
Rhenus Bulk Terminal Wilhelmshaven (BTW) handled 557,319 tonnes of coal in July. This is the best figure for one month at the long-standing bulk handling centre. The company has modernised and expanded the business site between 2009 and 2013 so that it can handle larger volumes.
More powerful conveyor belts, fully automatic stackers/reclaimers and the new train loading station have improved the range of services available. The capacity of the BTW has also been extended through deepening the berth to allow it to handle fully laden Capesize vessels with a draught of as much as 18.50 metres and extending the storage areas away from the quay’s edge.
“We set ourselves ambitious targets for our monthly and annual figures after expanding our terminal. The 557,319 tonnes, which were handled in July, show that we’re on the right path,” says Matthias Schrell, Managing Director of Rhenus Midgard in Wilhelmshaven.
The business site unloaded more than three million tonnes for the first time last year. At the moment, it looks as if they were able to increase the end-of-year results in 2014 once again.
