1 2014 Throughput Figures Rotterdam Allard Castelein CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority 1

2 Summary of 2014 throughput +1%, 445 million tonnes A year with major differences between market segments: Dry bulk: minimal decline (-0.7%) Liquid bulk: minor decline (-2.1%) Significant decline in oil products (-8.1%) and other liquid bulk (-7.4%) Increase in crude oil (+4.8%) Containers: significant increase (5.8% in TEU) Breakbulk: very high growth (12%) 2

5 Dry bulk: -0.7% reduced demand by power plants and blast furnaces % -0.9% +6.8% +9.2% Ores & scrap Coal Agribulk Other dry bulk Ores & scrap: decrease primarily due to renovation of blast furnaces in Germany Coal: increase of cokes coal; decrease in thermal coal Agribulk: increase due to export of wheat; increase due to import of corn and soy Other dry bulk: cautious recovery of the economy (construction, industry) x 1 million tonnes (m) Source: PoR 5

6 Liquid bulk: -2.1% oil sector and petrochemical industry under pressure % -8.1% +59.5% Crude oil Oil products LNG Other liquid bulk x 1 million tonnes (m) % Crude oil: no major maintenance stops, high occupancy rate refineries Oil products: competition of new tank terminals in other ports; reduced supply of naphtha as a feedstock for the chemical industry LNG: increase in re-export Other liquid bulk: lower production in the European chemical industry Source: PoR 6

7 Containers (+5.8%) and breakbulk (+12.1%) strong growth and high terminal utilisation rates % in TEU (+5.2% in tonnes) % Containers: Recovery of the economy Initial effects of the shipping industry's increase in scale Strong deepsea performance Breakbulk: RoRo: +8% due to recovery of UK economy Other general cargo: +28% (steel, non-ferrous (LME), project cargo) 0 Containers Breakbulk Source: PoR x 1 million tonnes (m) 7

9 Throughput index by cargo type: mineral oil products and containers are the strongest performers Mineral oil products Containers Total Coal Crude oil Ores and scrap 2004 = 100 9

10 Maasvlakte 2 (Phase 1) completed. Investments in existing port exceed 2008 levels MV2 Realisation Realisation Existing Area Amounts: x 1 million 10

11 2015 Forecast: continuation of slight growth Total: +1% Growth primarily in containers 11

12 Change of era Change of era, not an era of change: Shifts in the energy sector: emergence of American shale gas, renewable energy (generated locally), price fluctuations (gas, coal, oil) Emergence of bio-based and circular economy Increase in scale of container shipping; formation of alliances by shipping companies This creates a dynamic in the logistics and industry sectors In addition to continuing trends such as automation, globalisation, etc Consequently: nourish existing, large-scale sectors; at the same time innovate and expand the port s portfolio The results of such actions are not always or immediately reflected in the throughput figures, but they are reflected in employment and added value. 12

13 Containers: strengthening of competitive position Accommodate and stimulate growth by: Exchange of containers among terminals: CER Taking into operation terminals RWG and APMT MV2, investments by ECT, CT Alblasserdam Stimulate transshipment and 2nd call deepsea by discounting port dues Inland shipping: development of Nextlogic scheduling tool, among others Rail In addition, anticipate 2016 employment issue 13

14 Rail: essential and promising Ambition: increase volume of maritime containers from 580,000 TEU (2013) to 880,000 TEU (2020) Approach infrastructure: Alternative for Caland railway bridge Third rail Emmerich Oberhausen Approach Rail products: Market demands South Germany New shuttles (Rail incubator) Develop pan-european rail transport 14

15 Industry and energy: nourish existing oil sector and petrochemical industry Strengthen competitive position by: Further integration of the petrochemical complex through means of pipelines (such as Multicore 2) Upgrade nautical infrastructure (buoys and poles, jetties) Increase the flexibility and service levels of tank terminals Deepen the Nieuwe Waterweg (New Waterway) Create crude oil hub through means of Shtandart tank terminal 15

16 Industry and energy: enhance sustainability and innovate Enhance sustainability and innovate by: Constructing LNG Breakbulk Terminal Developing bio-based chemical sector (plug & play Maasvlakte 2) Delta Plan Energy Infrastructure Enhance chain sustainability (ROAD, biomass certification, Bettercoal) LNG Breakbulk Terminal 16

17 Expansion: Maritime industry and offshore: wide range of opportunities Focus on: Offshore industry Decommissioning drilling platforms Pieter Schelte Allseas: In Prinses Alexiahaven for assembly of top-side lifting system Spin-off for maritime cluster Location of offshore activities on Maasvlakte 2 17

18 Rotterdam focuses on innovation Knowledge development with Delft University of Technology & EUR (Smartport), universities of applied science, Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) Consultation with the port s business sector: Rotterdam Mainport Innovation Forum Stimulate start-ups: PHIA Yes!Delft Start-up Boot Camp Port fund Specific projects initiated by Port Authority RDM Campus, Plant One, itanks 18

19 Five specific innovation projects Reefer container service Sugar as the new crude Enhance service levels (dynamic ship admission policy) Offshore wind & decommissioning Multi-user infra Europoort 19

20 Environment and sustainability remain important Port Authority works and collaborates on (among others): Development of LNG as a transport fuel Delta Plan Energy Infrastructure CCS and CO2 infrastructure Maasvlakte 2 bio-based cluster Ban on degassing benzene while sailing Investigation into (and measures) related to nitrogen deposits We-nose network 20

21 Summary 2014 throughput: +1%, 445 million tonnes 2015 forecast: +1% Existing operations provide a solid foundation for the port, but the world is changing Innovation and expansion are required to continue to be a key prosperity and employment pillar (3.3% of GDP; 150,000 jobs) Consequently: nourish existing, large-scale sectors innovate and expand port s portfolio 21
