ITC Rubis

What ITC Rubis does

ITC Rubis, operating through its legal entity ITC Antwerp NV, is a Belgian industrial storage and transhipment facility headquartered at Blikken, Haven 1662 in Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht within the port of Antwerp. Founded in 2008, the private company provides specialized storage and handling of hazardous liquid chemicals, liquefied gases, and petroleum products under a single integrated operating model. Its customer base spans chemical manufacturers and traders, gas companies handling liquefied gases, and oil and gas firms moving petroleum products, with a consistent focus on flammable and toxic material handling. The firm employs 51-100 staff and operates under the leadership of CEO Filip Masquillier.

The company's core offering is an integrated storage and transhipment service built on specialized tank infrastructure, containment systems, safety equipment, and environmental controls required for hazardous materials. Operational coordination with enterprise customers is delivered through dedicated digital channels including a customer portal (customer.itcantwerp.com), an UAB-Online booking system, and a Slot Booking platform. No proprietary AI/ML, software platform, or technical stack is disclosed; the business is fundamentally a physical infrastructure operator whose value derives from regulated capacity and port location rather than intellectual property.

ITC Rubis operates a direct B2B go-to-market model, reaching enterprise industrial customers through an in-house sales and operations team. Revenue is generated through two streams: recurring storage fees tied to volume, duration, and material type, and transaction-based transhipment fees for loading, unloading, and transferring cargo between vessels and storage facilities. Pricing is negotiated on a contract basis and is not publicly disclosed. The geographic footprint is concentrated in Western Europe, anchored to the Antwerp port, with no disclosed multi-site or international expansion.
