Who We Are

An independent terminal operator, since 1938

Hanno Rotterdam BV (KVK 24053277) is an independently registered Dutch company handling maritime transhipment, petroleum storage and dry bulk storage from our head office on the Maasvlakte, Rotterdam.

Nearly nine decades on, the same discipline that built our first quay now runs at our Rotterdam hub, extended through subleasing partners spanning the Americas, the Middle East and Asia.

Rotterdam waterfront

Reliable terminals, run the same way every time

We measure ourselves on whether a berth, tank or conveyor performs exactly as promised — not on how the operation looks from the outside.

Our Heritage

From a single quay to a global network

1938

Hanno is founded on the Rotterdam waterfront, handling maritime transhipment for early river and coastal traffic.

1960s–70s

Expansion onto the Maasvlakte as Rotterdam's port reclaims land seaward, adding deep-water berths for larger vessels.

1980s–90s

Petroleum and dry bulk storage become dedicated business lines alongside core transhipment services.

2000s

The network extends beyond Rotterdam with terminal capacity in Houston, Zhoushan, Jurong and Fujairah.

Today

Hanno Rotterdam BV operates as an independent, KVK-registered terminal group headquartered on the Maasvlakte.

Sustainability

Reducing the footprint, berth by berth

Shore power, vapour recovery and treated water discharge are part of how we run terminals — not a separate initiative bolted on afterward.

Our Sustainability Commitments
Innovation

Monitored operations, not guesswork

Berth schedules, tank levels and conveyor throughput are tracked from a central operations desk — the same discipline behind the live conditions shown on our Rotterdam terminal page.

Our Innovations
Industrial operations control panels
Diverse professional team collaborating
Our People

Terminal operations run on people, not just infrastructure

From crane operators to berth planners, HSE officers to terminal managers — our teams are what keep a 24-hour terminal network running safely.

View Open Roles
Business handshake sealing an agreement

Long-term terminal relationships, not one-off bookings

Refiners, traders and bulk shippers work with Hanno on multi-year storage and throughput agreements built around consistent, repeatable performance.
