Name of the Project
Prinses Amaliahaven terminal expansion.
Location
Port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Project Owner/s
Port of Rotterdam Authority (PoR) and Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG).
Project Description
RWG has decided to expand its terminal in the Prinses Amaliahaven on the Maasvlakte in the Port of Rotterdam.
The expansion of the current terminal comprises an estimated 45 ha in terms of terminal site and 920 m of quay wall. This will increase RWG’s capacity by 1.8-million twenty-foot equivalent units in a phased manner. The expansion will be fully automated and carbon-neutral, just like the existing terminal.
RWG has access to about 100 ha, 1 150 m of deep-sea quay and 550 m of barge/feeder quay. The PoR started construction of the quay walls in the Prinses Amaliahaven in 2021.
The state-of-the-art quay wall is fitted with sensors to measure the forces that vessels, waves, wind and other elements exert on the structure, while it is also being prepared for the use of shore power.
The PoR is also equipping the quay wall at RWG with smart bollards, which measure the strength of hawsers, so the safety of moored vessels can be continuously monitored.
Potential Job Creation
Not stated.
Capital Expenditure
€500-million.
Planned Start/End Date
The first phase of the expansion is expected to be operational by the end of 2025. Construction of the quay wall will be completed by mid-2024.
Latest Developments
PoR and RWG announced the expansion in June 2023.
