The Port of Moerdijk is a thriving port on the Hollandsch

Diep. Safety & security, sustainability and value creation

are core values for the further development of the

logistics and process industries in the area. The Port

of Moerdijk is an important economic engine for the

region and offers direct and indirect employment for

more than 18 000 people.

NOW

THE FUTURE

THEN

The 60’s Drinking water reservoirs are built in the Biesbosch

area. Sand excavated here is used for the construction

of a new port and industrial estate between Moerdijk

and Klundert. This new area, filled with activity, offers

a challenging working environment for young people

from the region.

The 80’s The port and industrial terrain are divided into

4 themed areas, a formula that works well.

The 90’s Operations and the issue of land increases rapidly.

Logistics service providers also find their place in

Moerdijk. The Port of Moerdijk becomes a significant

port and industrial estate.

The Noughties The new port sets a clear, strategicncourse. It presents

a clear picture of the type of port and industrial estate

that Moerdijk wants to become by 2030.

In 2030, the Port of Moerdijk will be the most important

port and industrial estate in the sectors of sustainable

logistics and sustainable chemical and process

industries within the powerful collaborative network

of the Flemish-Dutch Delta. In order to get there, the

Moerdijk Port Authority will focus heavily on the further

development of the unique features and complementary

activities in the port area in the coming years.

With far-reaching ICT developments, sustainability trends

and the realisation of “Logistiek Park Moerdijk” (Logistics

Park Moerdijk).

THEN, NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE

THE PORT OF MOERDIJK HAS EXISTED FOR MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY AND HAS EXPERIENCED CONSIDERABLE GROWTH IN RECENT DECADES. IT IS CURRENTLY THE FOURTH (BUSIEST) SEAPORT IN THE NETHERLANDS, YET STILL DEVELOPING SUBSTANTIALLY. WITH GREAT PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.

• In the 2030 Port Strategy for Moerdijk, the

concept of a secure port is one of the three

guiding principles. In addition to further

optimizing the existing security conditions, the

plans and measures also focus on viability, new

security concepts, (cyber) crime and the threat

of terror.

• A professional fire brigade team is resident in

the port and industrial estate. The fire brigade

is active seven days a week, 24 hours a day and

able to arrive on site within six minutes. With

up-to-date equipment and new fire-fighting boats

in and near the port, the fire brigade is perfectly

equipped to deal with fires and other disasters.

The professional fire service is a private and public

partnership between the Central Safety & Security

Region and West-Brabant and the “Stichting

Bedrijfsbrandweerzorg Moerdijk” (SBM), in

collaboration with the Municipality of Moerdijk,

the Moerdijk Port Authority and the business

community within the port and industrial estate.

It’s a special collaboration between government

and business, one of which we are proud.

• A Port Health Centre has also been established.

This medical centre provides companies with

professional, medical assistance services in

case of accidents. Companies can rely on a wide

range of specialist medical services, from general

medical care and vaccinations to travel advice and

investigation services for offshore situations or

chemical-related issues.

• Camera security on site and on the waterfront,

number plate registration, as well as weight and

quantity-calculation.

• The Stichting Beveiliging Industrieterrein

Moerdijk (SBIM): a collective safety and security

association, requiring the mandatory participation

of all companies. Responsible for surveillance

services, monitoring of access roads/escape

routes, camera control, emergency alerts and

prevention advice.

• The International Ship & Port Facility Security code

(ISPS) prescribes mandatory measures pertaining

to the security of ships and port facilities. All

companies with ISPS codes must employ a Safety

Officer in order to be authorized to handle

seagoing vessels. 22 companies comply with the

ISPS code in the port of Moerdijk.

• The Communication Centre of Port Authority

Moerdijk (HMCC) plays a key role in security

issues. It monitors all transport movements on site

and on the water 24/7. In case of emergencies,

immediate action is taken. If necessary, the HMCC

serves as a crisis centre.

• The Port of Moerdijk was the first seaport to be

awarded the “Keurmerk Veilig Ondernemen”

(KVO-B), i.e. a professional certification for safe

and secure companies. Collaboration between

entrepreneurs, the community, police and the

fire brigade is hereby guaranteed. Nuisances and

criminal activity are being tackled and safety and

security in the area will be increased.

SAFETY & SECURITY ARE CRUCIAL IN THE PORT AND INDUSTRIAL ESTATE OF MOERDIJK. THE SIZE OF THE ESTATE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF COMPANIES IN HEAVY ENVIRONMENTAL CATEGORIES REQUIRE A COMPREHENSIVE AND TIGHT POLICY IN THIS AREA. THE PORT OF MOERDIJK INTENDS TO GUARANTEE AN EXEMPLARY SAFETY AND SECURITY RECORD AND BECOME THE MOST SECURE PORT AND INDUSTRIAL ESTATE IN THE FLEMISH-DUTCH DELTA BY 2030.

• The port and industrial estate of Moerdijk is the

first existing area in the Netherlands to have the

BREEAM-NL Area Certification. This Assessment

Directive assesses the sustainability performance

of existing areas. The port and industrial estate,

which counts as the largest area that’s been laid

out according to the BREEAM-NL gauge, has been

rated as: VERY GOOD (3 stars).

• Participation in EcoPorts, a network of ports

and port professionals in Europe to exchange

knowledge and experience on environmental issues

within ports.

• Ships with a Green Award certificate are extra clean

and extra safe. They receive a discount on tariffs,

in order to encourage more sustainable shipping

practices.

• Various companies within the port and industrial

estate of Moerdijk produce their own heat/

steam. This is for personal use in their production

processes, but also for sharing with other

companies.

• The annual Environmental Monitoring gives a

description of the environmental conditions in and

around the port and industrial estate of Moerdijk,

the ongoing projects and the sustainability of the

site. Central themes: energy, air, waste, water,

noise, nature and environmental complaints.

• Adjustable system for public LED lighting. This

saves energy and reduces CO2 emissions and air

pollution.

• Attention to social sustainability by organising

an environmental round table (Omgevingstafel):

a discussion platform emanating from the

Port Authority, representatives of companies,

representatives of the municipality, residents and

residents’ organizations from the nearby residential

centres. Goal: to share information, take each

other’s needs and ideas into account, creating

understanding and support.

• Working in accordance with the Port Environmental

Review System (PERS), a European port-

specific methodology to independently assess

environmental performance.

• The Moerdijk Port Authority has designated an

area of no less than 57 hectares as “temporary

nature”. This approach ensures that nature is given

“breathing space” for a specified period to develop

and strengthen. In return, the Port Authority is

given the legal mandate to remove/develop these

“natural areas” at a later date.

SUSTAINABILITY IS A COMMON THREAD WEAVING THROUGH THE MANAGEMENT OF THE MOERDIJK PORT AUTHORITY, AS WELL AS THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE PORT. EVERYTHING IS AIMED AT MAKING THE PORT MORE SUSTAINABLE AND ENSURING IT BECOMES THE MOST SUSTAINABLE PORT IN EUROPE BY 2030. IN THE 2030 PORT STRATEGY FOR MOERDIJK, THE CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABILITY IS ANOTHER OF THE THREE GUIDING PRINCIPLES.

MOERDIJK IN 2030 - AMBITIONSAND STRATEGY

IN 2030, THE PORT OF MOERDIJK WILL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT PORT AND INDUSTRIAL ESTATE IN THE SECTORS OF SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS AND SUSTAINABLE CHEMICAL AND PROCESS INDUSTRIES, WITHIN THE POWERFUL COLLABORATIVE NETWORK OF THE FLEMISH-DUTCH DELTA.

TO ACHIEVE THIS, THE PORT OF MOERDIJK HAS DEVELOPED 3 KEY STRATEGIES THAT ARE CLOSELY INTER-RELATED AND REINFORCE EACH OTHER: THE DEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION OF THE “EXTENDED GATE”

FUNCTION IN RELATION TO ROTTERDAM AND ANTWERP THE FURTHER EXPANSION OF SHORT SEA SHIPPING ACTIVITIES

THE DEVELOPMENT AND GREATER SUSTAINABILITY OF THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

In order to quickly implement the growing global container flows in the seaports of Rotterdam and Antwerp, a

good “gateway” into the hinterland is crucial. The Port of Moerdijk can perform the task of “extended gateway

“extremely well. With reliable and numerous multi-modal hinterland networks and direct water transport

networks from the Maasvlakte to Moerdijk. Work is being done on:

• Deployment of more exports: a growing stream of luxury products from Western Europe to Asia

• Positioned as a consolidation locale for return freight from the European hinterland to other continents

• Strengthening value-added logistics in the Moerdijk region, creating scale, high quantity and employment

• A flexible and durable synchro-modal transfer point, where a seamless switch between the different modes

of transport can occur.

EXTENDED GATEWAY

The direct sea connection makes the Port of Moerdijk very attractive for intra-continental maritime traffic.

Short Sea shipping services require timely and reliable handling. They must also be able to quickly and easily

switch containers to other modes of transport, and to other destinations. The Port of Moerdijk already

provides excellent services and will further expand its Short Sea activities by:

• Increasing its strong position in bulk traffic (dry and wet)

• Increasing its scale within the area of intra-continental container transport

• Investing in the quality of railway facilities

SHORT SEA SHIPPING

Moerdijk is already distinguished by a strong position in the fine chemical industry and enjoys a good starting position

for growth in the bio-based chemical industry. Increasingly advanced innovations offer plenty of opportunities for

greening the chemical cluster by 2030, such as the overlapping use of residue materials. The pipeline network can be

used optimally. The Port of Moerdijk is not only going to be a major customer of green energy in 2030, but also a major

supplier. With less CO2 and methane emissions, and an important transfer port for green residual products and bulk

goods, “Groen (Green) Moerdijk” will become a unique location. Not only for the chemical and processing industries,

but also for companies which require high-quality maintenance services.

To develop and grow the sustainability of the chemical industrial complex by:

• Encouraging growth in the fine chemical industry and acquiring companies that function in a complementary

manner within Moerdijk. In this way, the unnecessary transport of dangerous substances is avoided, among

other advantages.

• The strengthening of the bio-based based chemical industry and circular economy, by making optimal use of

cross-overs with other industries and clusters.

MOERDIJK IN 2030 -VALUE CREATION,SUSTAINABLY AND SAFELY

THREE PRINCIPLES ARE CENTRAL TO THE DEVELOPMENT THAT THE PORT OF MOERDIJK UP UNTIL 2030: VALUE CREATION, SUSTAINABILITY AND SAFETY & SECURITY. IN ORDER TO BECOME THE HUB OF SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS AND PROCESS INDUSTRY IN THE FLEMISH-DUTCH DELTA, EVERY NEW DEVELOPMENT WILL HAVE TO BE IN LINE WITH THESE THREE PRINCIPLES.

Growth leads to a “more voluminous

flow of goods” to and from the

seaports in Rotterdam and Antwerp.

This scale, combined with the

strategic location of the Port of

Moerdijk, makes it the ideal place for

value-added logistics and a value-

added process industry, with:

• The development of the Logistics

Park Moerdijk

• A choice of four modes of transport

• The physical and environmental

areas for port activities and heavy

industry

• Current cluster of industrial

companies

• The strong position of the logistics

function in the West-Brabant region

This will not only create thousands of

new jobs in the region, but it will also

provide ample opportunity for further

development of the main ports.

Sustainable operations aimed at

reducing the emission of hazardous

substances and reducing the use of

primary raw materials/energy, are

already high on the agenda of Port of

Moerdijk. Growth, the strengthening

of its competitiveness, and an

increase in employment opportunities

go hand-in-hand with the excellent

management of space and natural

areas, as well as ensuring a reduction

in environmental pressures on local

residents. In 2030, Port of Moerdijk

will be a port and industrial complex

where sustainability is internalised

as a matter of course, within all its

operations:

• An energy-neutral complex

• Greening of existing chemical and

processing industries

• The further expansion of

sustainable transport modes via

rail, water and pipelines

• Sustainable links between

companies

Already, the Port of Moerdijk is one

of the best-secured estates in the

Netherlands for both companies and

goods. By 2030, this high safety &

security standard will also apply to

employees, the environment and its

residents. Keeping an eye on your

immediate neighbours, excellent risk

communication and superior quality

supervision and enforcement of safety

& security ensure that the Port of

Moerdijk will also excel in the area of

safety & security.

‘TRIPLE P’IN GOODBALANCE

WITH EVERY (FUTURE) DEVELOPMENT IN THE PORT AND INDUSTRIAL ESTATE OF MOERDIJK, THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN “PEOPLE, PLANET AND PROFIT” MUST REMAIN WELL-BALANCED. IMPROVING ONE MAY NOT BE DONE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE OTHER. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STARTING POINT FOR THE PORT STRATEGY OF MOERDIJK FOR 2030.

A habitable, safe and healthy living environment, even if you live

close to the port area, is of great importance for a good quality of

life. This requires plenty of opportunities to live, work and recreate

in an attractive environment. Numerous aspects contribute to

ensuring this:

• The involvement of local residents from all the core areas,

so that they can collaborate early on with regard to changes

that could affect them. For example, by participating in the

environmental round table (Omgevingstafel): an accessible

platform where companies, governments and local residents

conduct discussions in an open and constructive way, share

tips and ideas with each other and exchange experiences. This

happens within a virtual digital community, but four times a

year an event is held around a real table.

• The creation of an attractive business environment for (future)

companies stimulates employment.

• Intensive cooperation between companies, educational

institutions and public authorities to match the supply of

training and demand from businesses

• A municipality focusing on attractive and distinctive living

environments to the west and south of the port area, with the

theme: Living In and on the Water.

Ecological sustainability and good stewardship of our natural

environment are extremely important for our collective future. The

Port Authority Moerdijk is investing heavily to ensure future climate

resilience, safety & security and creating nature-centric values

within the area:

• Structural collaboration between the Moerdijk industrial

community, nature and environmental organisations, and

governments, pertaining to issues such as energy, water, sound

and nature.

• Implementing measures to preserve and strengthen the

environmental qualities, bio-diversity and other ecological

factors, as defined in the Nature Management Plan for 2014 -

2030. A plan which guarantees the sustainable survival of flora

and fauna in combination with the economic development of the

area, as far as possible.

• Working in accordance with the Management Plan Protected

Species, guided by nature-friendly management of land.

• Close collaboration with an external “home ecologist” who

supervises the protection and advancement of the flora and

fauna in the area (e.g. breeding grounds, swallow wall, protected

flower and plant species).

• Drafting, with ensuing actions in accordance with the

implementation agenda of the Security Vision 2030.

• Striving to develop an energy-neutral port and industrial estate

by 2030 by means of solar energy, biomass, geothermal energy,

reduction of CO2 emissions, sustainable networks, recycling and

the re-use of raw materials.

PEOPLE

OUR PLANET

Strengthening and expanding the logistics and processing industry

in the area, expanding trans-shipping volumes, as well as the

further improvement and expansion of modes of transport,

will result in the healthy economic development of the Port of

Moerdijk.

As a result, the Port of Moerdijk will be the most important port

and industrial estate in the Flemish-Dutch Delta by 2030. This will

lead to:

• Further prosperity and growth

• The realisation of innovations

• An expanded labour market

• Growing use of natural resources
