Safety first, always
Nothing ships until it is safe. Our safety culture protects our people, our neighbours and the environment we operate in.
We keep Europe's energy moving — safely, transparently and without compromise — from one of the best-connected locations in the Port of Rotterdam.
HES Hartel Tank Terminal was established to give producers, traders and distributors a dependable, independent home for their product at the seaward gateway to Europe. Every barrel we hold represents a commitment — to quality, to timing, and to the trust our customers place in us.
Operating on the Maasvlakte, we combine deep-water access with the discipline of a modern, safety-led organisation. Our people, our procedures and our infrastructure are aligned around a single goal: moving the right product, in the right condition, at the right moment.
These values are not posters on a wall — they are how we plan a berth, sign off a transfer and respond when it matters most.
