Bertschi Group has announced that operations have started at the newly completed Antwerp Zomerweg Terminal (AZT).
Strategically located in Europe’s largest integrated chemical cluster, the terminal will be focusing on the storage of dangerous goods (DG) and non-DG products in tank containers and trimodal services by rail, barge and tanker.
Located across from Bertschi’s Antwerp subsidiary and next to their established Plastics Hub, this terminal strengthens the Group’s service offerings in one of the globe’s most critical logistics hubs.
Built over 60,000m², the AZT terminal is designed for high-capacity chemical logistics, with dedicated space for the product storage of over 2,500 TEUs in containers, including 1,290 TEUs specifically allocated for DG products in tank containers.
Equipped with advanced safety features like fire-resistant zones, redundant fire pumps, and a remotely operated gantry crane, the terminal guarantees the Bertschi standard of secure and efficient operations.
This state-of-the-art facility is an important milestone in Bertschi’s strategy to support sustainable and secure global chemical supply chains.
“We’re thrilled to expand our logistics capabilities here in Antwerp,” said Jan Arnet, Bertschi Group CEO.
“This terminal brings us closer to our customers, with specialized solutions for storage, import, export, and intermodal distribution of liquid DG chemicals backed by cutting-edge safety and technology. We look forward to further growth at AZT and continuing our commitment to innovation in the industry.”
