Meijers.”

Twan Romeijn, Business Manager Breakbulk and Offshore Industry at Port of Rotterdam, added: “This next step in the Breakbulk Carousel, together with all involved parties, shows that the Port of Rotterdam is strongly committed to the development and modernization of the breakbulk sector.”
