Rotterdam, January 28, 2026 – ETA has confirmed the Final Investment Decision (FID) for a new rail infrastructure investment at its Amsterdam terminal, marking an important step in expanding logistics capabilities and supporting developments in energy and transport markets.
Today, products at ETA Amsterdam (ETA) are transported via barge, vessel, and truck. The addition of rail will provide increased flexibility and efficiency in the logistics flow of customers handling gasoil and renewable diesel (HVO), further strengthening the terminal’s multimodal connectivity.
“This investment underlines ETA's commitment to strengthening its infrastructure in line with market requirements,” said Quinten van Dam Merrett, Senior Vice President ETA Netherlands. “By adding rail as a transport option at ETA Amsterdam, we are improving connectivity and creating additional capacity to handle both conventional and renewable products.”
Roon van Maanen, Director Energy, Cargo & Circular Industry at the Port of Amsterdam commented: “The investment decision for the new rail infrastructure at the ETA Amsterdam terminal is of great value to Amsterdam. It fits perfectly with our ambition to increase the handling of (bio)fuels in Amsterdam and to transport them by sustainable and safe means of transport like rail.”
Construction is planned to take place this year and next year, with the rail facility expected to go live at the end of 2027. The design of the facility considers future expansion to load biodiesel (FAME) as well. Once operational, the new rail capability will further strengthen ETA Amsterdam’s position as a strategic hub for fuels and energy products in Northwest Europe.
The rail investment is aligned with ETA's long-term strategy, supporting current market needs and the gradual transition toward a greater share of non-fossil activities. It also represents an important contribution to the Port of Amsterdam’s connectivity and sustainability ambitions.
