Building consortium Hochtief, Balast Nedam and Van Oord wins tender procedure for Princess Amaliahaven
After going through a European tendering procedure, the Port of Rotterdam Authority has awarded the construction of approximately 2.4 kilometers of quays and earthworks in the Princess Amaliahaven to the construction consortium of HOCHTIEF, Ballast Nedam and Van Oord.
This signifies the go-ahead for the further development of the port located on Maasvlakte II, which can lead to an expansion of the annual transhipment by four million standard containers (TEU) in the port of Rotterdam.
The new construction will be on both sides of the approximately 2.5 kilometer long harbor. In total, this involves 1,825 meters of deep-sea quay, 160 meters of inland waterway quay and 360 meters of earthworks. With this, the entire harbor basin, which was taken into use in 2015, will be framed – except for 725 meters. The first 500 meters of quay wall is expected to be completed by the end of 2022. The last part of the project will be completed no later than eighteen months later.
