Technical masterplan and water management strategy for the Port of Moerdijk

Companies are attracted to the Moerdijk port and industrial estate because the area is well connected by water, road and rail routes, as well as having ready access to pipelines. The Industrial Park is one of the subdivisions of the port area and supports a large number of chemical companies with activities up to the highest environmental class. The land policy in Moerdijk is based on putting the right company in the right place. As such, the Port Authority has grouped together companies in heavy-duty environmental categories or with large hazard zones, because chemical companies must comply with strict safety and environmental legislation.

To meet growing demand for space, land was bought back from the previous occupier Shell,and 370 acres of additional space was created. The redevelopment of the Industrial Park subdivision gave chemical companies and other businesses with a higher environmental class the opportunity to establish themselves in a modern and well-functioning industrial estate. Here they are surrounded by companies in the same environmental category that can work together and complement each other.
