Port of Rotterdam

The Port of Rotterdam has introduced a Geofence system as part of the Just-in-Time sailing project to optimise ship movements and reduce CO2 emissions. Terminal planners and shipping agents receive notifications when vessels cross a geofence 240 nautical miles from the Maascenter buoy, providing precise arrival times and reducing waiting periods.

This initiative involves collaboration between terminal operators, shipping agents, and nautical service providers.   #PortofRotterdam #JustInTimeSailing #SustainableShipping #Innovation 

Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, visited the Distripark Eemhaven. One of the busiest areas of the port. The Distripark was built 35 years ago and is currently undergoing a major restructuring. Due to the high settlement sensitivity of the area, the roads and sewers have subsided considerably. The Port Authority is currently replacing the sewer system, improving the water management and adapting the public infrastructure to contemporary requirements (+4km roads). The work started July 23 and is expected to be completed early 2025. For the port authority it is vital that as little nuisance as possible is caused to the surrounding area during the work. Next to this securing accessibility for the logistics companies located in the Distripark Eemhaven - many of which operate 24/7 - is key. #eemhaven #portofrotterdam #infrastructure

The throughput in the port of Rotterdam decreased by 0.4% in the first three quarters of this year. The total throughput therefore equalled 328.6 million tonnes compared to 329.9 million tonnes in the same period of the previous year. However, the Rotterdam container sector saw growth: there was an increase in terms of weight (3.0%) and containers (2.2%). Iron ore and scrap also increased by 2.3 million tonnes (11.1%). The decline in total throughput is mainly due to a lower throughput of coal and crude oil. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dxBDQPDY #throughput #portofrotterdam #containers

Vandaag vertrekt de Boka Vanguard (met 'Floor' aan boord) weer uit het Calandkanaal. Na een korte tussenstop op de Maasvlakte, vertrekt het schip morgen (zaterdag 19 oktober) naar China. Onze portvlogger mocht deze week aan boord van het schip voor een uitgebreide rondleiding. #portofrotterdam #heavylift Boskalis Nederland

Europe is committed to establishing a new energy system. Recently, the Port of Rotterdam Authority welcomed WindEurope, Eneco and a European delegation in the port to discuss the opportunities and challenges in the energy transition and see what projects are already being developed in the port area. The European delegation consisted of MEP Annalisa Corrado, MEP Barry Andrews MEP and representatives of the European Commission.   In the port of Rotterdam, we work to build a future-proof port. With a wide portfolio of projects, the port wants to contribute to decarbonisation and attract future-proof activities to Europe. The port’s energy system is strongly internationally interlinked. As a result, the transition requires cooperation that spans far beyond the port, and supportive direction from Europe is crucial to move the energy transition forward in the coming years.   #portofrotterdam #europe #rotterdammakeithappen

Power2X and Advario are developing a world-scale production and storage hub for sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) and synthetic, ultra-low carbon fuels in the port of Rotterdam. The Power2X production facility will have the capacity to produce over 250,000 tonnes/year of e-SAF, a non-fossil, synthetic fuel made from green hydrogen. It will be the largest e-SAF facility announced to-date. The strategic location in the port of Rotterdam offers direct access to European airports, including Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, making it a key hub for the distribution of sustainable aviation fuels and e-fuels. The production facility will use imported green methanol produced from green hydrogen and biogenic carbon as feedstock as well as locally produced green hydrogen. Green methanol will be imported from locations where renewable energy and green hydrogen are abundant. Advario will develop an advanced storage and logistics facility with a capacity of ca. 230,000 cubic meters.   Boudewijn Siemons: “SAF production facilities in Rotterdam currently supply 24% of Europe’s aviation fuel need. According to the European Union’s target, 20% of all aviation fuel is to be produced from renewable sources. The production of e-SAF in Rotterdam is therefore important to meet future SAF demand. This project by Advario and Power2X is an example of the successful conversion of land in the port of Rotterdam from fossil fuel to green, sustainable production”.

Het is een bijzonder en onalledaags gezicht in het Calandkanaal, bij de Landtong Rozenburg: de verschijning van de Boka Vanguard. Het schip van Boskalis arriveerde vorige week in de Rotterdamse haven. Het doel van het bezoek? Het ophalen van de Fremantle Highway, die inmiddels is omgedoopt tot de Floor, om het schip vervolgens naar China te brengen. Dat gebeurt op een bijzondere manier, namelijk niet door het schip te slepen, maar door het schip aan boord te nemen. De Boka Vanguard is sowieso to 17 oktober te bekijken vanaf de Noordzeeweg op de Landtong Rozenburg. #portofrotterdam #rotterdammakeithappen #bokavanguard #fremantlehighway
