ter Hofstede, R. (author), Witte, Sterre (author), Kamermans, Pauline (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author), Tonk, Linda (author)The native European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) is an ecosystem engineer providing important ecosystem services, but became nearly extinct from the North Sea due to diseases and overfishing. There's a growing interest to restore these oyster reefs for their valuable contribution in re-establishing a rich ecosystem in the North Sea. In order...journal article 2024

Pourmohammadzia, N. (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author)This paper tackles the growing challenges in urban logistics by presenting an optimal distribution network that integrates urban waterways and last-mile delivery, tailored for cities boasting extensive waterway networks. We examine Amsterdam's city center as a case study, prompted by the strain on quay walls, congestion, and emissions, urging...journal article 2024

ter Hofstede, R. (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author)The marine environment faces continuous anthropogenic pressures, including infrastructural developments at a global scale. Integration of nature-inclusive measures in the design of infrastructural development is increasingly encouraged, but a lack of coordination results in fragmentation of project-based measures, failing to meet the desired...journal article 2024

Bakker, F.P. (author), van der Werff, S.E. (author), Baart, F. (author), Kirichek, Alex (author), De Jong, Sander (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author)Reducing waiting times is crucial for ports to be efficient and competitive. Important causes of waiting times are cascading interactions between realistic hydrodynamics, accessibility policies, vessel-priority rules, and detailed berth availability. The main challenges are determining the cause of waiting and finding rational solutions to...journal article 2024

Sepehri, A. (author), Kirichek, Alex (author), van den Heuvel, Marcel (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author)Abstract: Efficient port operations require minimizing turnaround time which is the total duration of a vessel's stay in the port and encompasses waiting, maneuvering, berthing, and de-berthing times. The turnaround time can be reduced by optimizing arrivals and departures, maximizing berth availability, facilitating cargo handling, and...conference paper 2024

(author)Several measures have been developed to prevent emissions from inland water transportation. However, it is challenging to weigh all the aspects to identify the pathway that will ultimately result in zero-emission inland shipping. A data-driven virtual representation of the inland shipping system can be used to evaluate zero-emission strategies,...conference paper 2023

ter Hofstede, R. (author), Bouma, Tjeerd J. (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author)Marine reef ecosystems have degraded massively worldwide, and restoration efforts have as yet not managed to realize the scale required to reverse continued degradation. To achieve effective scales, scientific insights in restoration methods should be paired with industry-based approaches used for infrastructural development. We illustrate by...journal article 2023

Pourbeirami Hir, Maryam (author), Kirichek, Alex (author), Pourmohammadzia, N. (author), Jiang, M. (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author)A key challenge in the energy transition for Inland Water Transport is the functional design of bunker networks and first-order dimensioning of individual bunker stations. A fundamental ingredient for this is an improved understanding of how upstream energy supply (‘well-to-bunker-station’) and downstream demand (‘bunker-station-to-tank’) may...conference paper 2023

(author), Osinga, Ronald (author)Acropora palmata is one of the major reef-building coral species in the Caribbean. The species has suffered drastic declines in abundance and sexual recruitment over the past decades. One method for active rehabilitation of A. palmata reefs is by assisting the production of sexual recruits under controlled lab conditions. Within this study,...journal article 2023

Growing attention is given to combine the massive roll-out of offshore wind farms in the North Sea with reinstating the once rich but nowadays nearly extinct European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis). However, the...journal article 2023

ter Hofstede, R. (author), Driessen, F. M.F. (author), Elzinga, P. J. (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author), Schutter, M. (author)The North Sea was once abundantly covered with hard substrates such as oyster beds, coarse peat banks and glacial erratics, providing habitat to a rich community of marine species. Most of these habitats were destroyed by bottom-trawl fisheries over the past century, and today, the seabed hosts a relatively poor species community. Emerging...journal article 2022
