Nova Marine Carriers, together with German shipping company Aug. Bolten and Spanish group Ership, has completed the acquisition of 100% of VCK Port Logistics and its port infrastructure in the Port of Amsterdam, through the Dutch subsidiary Maja Stuwadoorsgroep B.V.
The acquisition includes the Waterland Terminal, Europe’s only terminal capable of 24/7 operations under cover, featuring the unique “one roof all weather” concept and dehumidified warehouses for steel and other break bulk and dry bulk cargo.
With over 100 years of history, VCK is a highly respected logistics operator. Operational continuity for customers and employees is ensured, with the current management team retaining responsibility for day-to-day operations.
This transaction strengthens Nova Marine Carriers’ strategy of vertical integration, expanding control across the entire supply chain and investing in technologically advanced and operationally efficient port infrastructure.
This follows the February 2025 acquisition of the Vlothaven bulk terminal in Amsterdam by the same Nova–Bolten–Ership partnership. Both terminals will now be integrated under Maja Stuwadoorsgroep B.V., consolidating the group’s presence in the European port logistics sector.
