Odfjell has revealed that it is currently looking at a number of strategic alternatives for the expansion of its storage terminal [pictured] in the port of Rotterdam.

In a statement the company said: "We intend to grow our tank terminal business further. We have therefore started a process of evaluating various strategic alternatives for our Rotterdam tank terminal, with the objective to secure further growth and enhancement of shareholders’ value."
