This agreement between the Rotterdam Municipal Port
Management and the DFDS Tor Line Group A/S was signed on 27
March 2001 in Copenhagen. The total investment amounts to
DKK 100 million divided into two phases of which phase one
amounts to approximately DKK 55 million. The terminal is
expected to be ready for use in spring 2003.
The terminal of DFDS Tor Line will be situated in a
newly developed area of the Rotterdam Port direct to the
sea, taking up the last 200,000 square metres vacant in the
Maasvlachte growth area, and facing the container terminals
of Maersk-Sealand, ECT and P&O Nedlloyd. The new
terminal will mean a transit time between Rotterdam and the
United Kingdom three hours shorter than today.
Besides the terminal in Rotterdam DFDS Tor Line has its
own terminals in Esbjerg, Oslo, Brevik, and
Immingham.
Yours sincerely,
DFDS Tor Line Group A/S
