Investment decision
VTTI has confirmed the Final Investment Decision for new rail infrastructure at its Amsterdam (ETA) terminal to expand logistics capabilities and support developments in energy and transport markets.
Operational scope and schedule
Currently served by barge, vessel and truck, the terminal will add rail to increase flexibility and efficiency for customers handling gasoil and renewable diesel (HVO). Construction is planned this year and next, with the rail facility expected to go live at the end of 2027.
Future proofing and strategic fit
The facility’s design considers future expansion to load biodiesel (FAME). VTTI frames the investment as part of its long‑term strategy to support current market needs and a gradual shift toward more non‑fossil activities, and the Port of Amsterdam sees it as supporting increased (bio)fuels handling and more sustainable transport via rail.
