Global marine energy supplier Peninsula is expanding its biofuel storage capacity at the Port of Rotterdam with the opening of a new storage and blending facility at Chane Terminal.
The expansion would strengthen Peninsula’s operational capabilities in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) region, the company said on 17 November.
“This new facility not only strengthens our operational capabilities but also demonstrates Peninsula’s ongoing commitment to sustainable marine energy solutions,” said Thomas Van Hoeteghem, Peninsula regional supply manager, north-west Europe.
Following the first phase of the development, Peninsula’s Chane Terminal would feature nine new tanks with a total capacity of 30,000m³ for biofuel blending and storage.
Infrastructure at the site included three jetties and seven berths for barges up to 135m and a jetty for seagoing vessels to ensure inter-terminal transfers (ITT) with major oil companies.
As part of the second phase of the expansion, eight additional tanks would come online in January 2026, boosting total capacity to 110,000 m³.
Peninsula said the new set-up would allow it to blend any biofuel grade from B5 to B100.
Working within a global network of 16 ports, Peninsula supplies and resells marine fuel.
The independent company also provides a range of marine services, including dedicated barging facilities.
