CLdN, a renowned logistics company, has recently made a significant announcement regarding its expansion plans. The company has successfully acquired 100 percent of the shares in Broekman Distriport Real Estate BV and its subsidiary, Broekman Distriport BV.
Broekman Distriport is situated on a 22-hectare property, conveniently located across from CLdN’s existing terminal in Rotterdam, known as Brittanniëhaven. This acquisition presents CLdN with an exciting opportunity to enhance and diversify its service offerings across all three segments currently served at Distriport: roll-on/roll-off (RoRo), load-on/load-off (LoLo), and breakbulk handling.
The infrastructure at Distriport is impressive, boasting 630 metres of quayside, state-of-the-art container handling and storage facilities, 50,000 square metres of covered warehouses, advanced equipment for breakbulk and heavy cargo handling, and a rail head stretching 1.4 kilometres. Notably, Distriport is home to the only all-weather terminal in the Rotterdam-Rijnmond region, as well as a humidity-controlled warehouse. Its customer base includes cargo liner services to and from Scandinavia, Spain, the UK, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands. The subsidiary currently employs 80 dedicated individuals on a full-time basis.
Florent Maes, the CEO of CLdN, expressed his enthusiasm about the acquisition, emphasising how it aligns perfectly with the company’s strategic focus on investing in top-notch port infrastructure. Maes believes that this acquisition will enable CLdN to leverage its existing network of services in and out of Rotterdam, providing additional advantages for both current and future clients. He warmly welcomed the new team members from Distriport and looks forward to collaborating on new opportunities for the broader CLdN group.
It is worth mentioning that the transaction does not require any regulatory or other approvals, further streamlining the integration process for CLdN and ensuring a seamless transition.
