Pacorini signs a long-term contract with the Norwegian aluminium producer Hydro

Broekman Distriport is to handle and store around 600,000 tonnes of aluminium a year from Norway for logistics service provider Pacorini Metals. In this connection, Pacorini has signed a long-term contract with the Norwegian aluminium producer Hydro, the Port of Rotterdam said in its press release.
 
Pacorini, a subsidiary of Glencore, will distribute the rods and bars onwards from Rotterdam, in the Benelux, Germany, France, Spain and Italy, among other places. The majority will be transported by road, but rail and inland shipping will also be used for larger shipments. The aluminium comes from smelters in Sunndal, Husnes and Karmoy.

The cargo will be shipped into Rotterdam’s Brittanniëhaven twice a week by the Norwegian shipping line Sea-Cargo, with which Broekman recently concluded a contract. About a third of the total package is new for Rotterdam, having been handled in Amsterdam until recently. The rest was in the hands of Steinweg-Handelsveem in Rotterdam.

Broekman earlier announced a five-hectare expansion. That project covers, among other things, the construction of a ro/ro ramp, which should be complete during the first quarter of this year. Sea-Cargo has ordered three new ro/ro ships and expects to have these in service from 1 April. The total package also includes return cargo to Norway, again including aluminium and auxiliary materials for its manufacture.
