Coal transshipment and distribution in Europe the competitive powers of Rotterdam
Until today most export sales to Europe have been done on a FOB U.S.-East Coast and U.S.-Gulf basis, meaning that many U.S. coal exporters are not too familiar with European coal ports and the onward transportation possibilities. However, because of the potential growth of especially steam coal deliveries to the electricity generating industry in Europe, there seems to be an interest to get involved in some direct kind of way in the European coal market, even though today U.S. steam coal has a difficult time competing in the world market. A world market that is still characterized by a considerable surplus of supply over demand and a downward trend in prices expressed in dollars. European Coal Stevedoring with its majority shareholding in the largest dry bulk terminal in Europe - EMO Maasvlakte Terminal, Rotterdam - appreciates to have this opportunity to confront the U.S. exporters with coal transshipment and distribution in Europe and the competitive powers of the Gateway to Europe: Rotterdam, the Number One Port in the World.
