Rietlanden Terminals are a pair of coal terminals located at the Port of Amsterdam in the Netherlands: the Afrikahaven Terminal and the Amerikahaven/Aziëhaven Terminal. Both terminals are operated by JERA Co., a fuel joint venture of Tokyo Electric Power and Chubu Electric Power. They have a combined storage capacity of around 2.6 million tons.

Previously, the Amerikahaven was sometimes referred to as the Rietland terminal (service year: 1989), with the Afrikahaven referred to as the ACT terminal (service year: 2006). A third terminal, the ACP terminal in the Westhaven (service year: 1999), appeared related to the two Rietlanden Terminals. However, the ACP is now likely part of the OBA Bulk Terminal.

Afrikahaven Terminal

The Afrikahaven Terminal is specialized in blending multiple coal types and de-ironing at deposition and retrieval. This terminal has a total surface area of 300,000 m2. It has a total quay length of 1,150 meters: 750 m quay right on the Afrikahaven and 400 m in the inner harbour (Zanzibarhaven). It has 1.6 million tons of open storage capacity, and a rail connection with a load capacity of 6 trains.

Amerikahaven/Aziëhaven Terminal

The Amerikahaven/Aziëhaven Terminal is under long term lease with two costumers. The cargoes are mainly scrap metals and coal intended for industrial purposes. The terminal has a total surface area of 165,000 m2 and quay length of 1,000 meters. It is 250 meters in the inner harbour (Aziëhaven).

Ownership

In 2007, EDF Trading – the subsidiary of French energy group EDF (EDF.PA) – bought Amstuw BV, a coal terminal business in the Port of Amsterdam, from the LBH Group. In 2017, JERA Co. – a fuel joint venture of Tokyo Electric Power and Chubu Electric Power – bought EDF Trading and took full control of Amstuw BV’s Terminals.
