03 Sep Euroports and Hydnum Steel signed a MoU
Hydnum Steel and Euroports collaborate in the development of logistics solutions to optimise the steel supply chain in Europe.
- The signed agreement aims to design an efficient logistics network for the transportation, storage, and distribution of the steel coils that Hydnum Steel will produce at its Puertollano plant.
Hydnum Steel, the first green steel plant in Spain, and Euroports, one of the leading port and logistics operators in Europe, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop integrated logistics solutions that will optimise the steel supply chain across the continent.
Under this agreement, both companies will work closely in the design and implementation of an efficient and sustainable logistics network, focused on improving the transportation, storage, and distribution of the steel coils that Hydnum Steel will produce at its Puertollano plant.
The collaboration also considers efficient and reliable logistics solutions for key steelmaking raw materials such as ferrous scrap, green metallics, and iron ore from various sources and different origins.
This partnership is based on Europort’s expertise in port infrastructure management and logistics services. For its part, Hydnum Steel requires a reliable logistics service for the import of iron ore and scrap metal, as well as the export of green steel coils.
MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE MOU
Supply chain optimisation: Implementation of innovative solutions to reduce time and costs in the transportation and handling of steel products from the production plant to the final customers.
- Sustainability: Development of logistics practices that minimise carbon footprint, promoting the use of multimodal transportation and clean technologies.
- Operational efficiency: Coordination between production and distribution, ensuring faster and more reliable delivery to European markets.
- Growth and expansion: Access to new markets and customers through a robust and well-structured logistics network.
According to Fernando Pessanha, Chief Strategy Officer at Hydnum Steel, « this agreement represents a significant step towards improving our supply chain. We will be able to offer to customers high-quality green steel products with maximum efficiency and sustainability.
