First Dutch increases stake in Rotterdam Port Fund

Following the acquisition of NIBC by ABN AMRO Bank, First Dutch has been able to acquire NIBC’s participation in the Rotterdam Port Fund (RPF). As a result, First Dutch is now the majority shareholder in RPF. The fund focuses on the port of the future.

Together with partners such as the Port of Rotterdam Authority and InnovationQuarter, RPF invests in start-ups and scale-ups in the maritime sector and helps them achieve their growth ambitions. The fund targets companies that can make a difference in the transition toward a more sustainable port and industrial complex.

Peter Goedvolk: “Our investments span various areas such as transport, logistics, energy, refining, offshore, and maritime. This fits perfectly within the sweet spot of First Dutch as a family of companies active in Maritime, Industries & Commodities. For the growth of our portfolio companies, it is absolutely essential that we stay at the forefront of innovation in these sectors.”
