Mourillon, N.K.N. (author)The stability of any structure is an important aspect in civil engineering. The subject of this thesis is the stability of the quay structure at the Amazonehaven, port of Rotterdam. The reason for writing this report is to investigate the safety and stability of the quay structure, which was built in 1990, throughout its service lifetime while...master thesis 2015

Zheng, Z.Z. (author)Ports have evolved into an essential part of a nation’s economy [Schipper et al., 2015]. In order to obtain economic growth and prevent loss of trade and competitive position, the worldwide growth in port development will not stop [PIANC 2014a]. At present the port development process typically results in environmental mitigation and/or harm....master thesis 2015

Treffers, J.G. (author)For the development of the preliminary design of a dry dock, the present design methods are based on information from experience and manuals. Dry docks are not as frequently designed and built as other maritime structures and due to this many information is lost in time. To improve the process for the preliminary design of dry docks this thesis...master thesis 2015

Arecco, P.H.E. (author)Waterborne transport infrastructures play a crucial role in global integration, and ports are key components to materialise this amalgamation. However they are constantly challenged to keep fulfilling their functions in a changing environment. Port of Rotterdam, the largest port in Europe and the Western hemisphere too, faces those challenges on...master thesis 2015

Pasaoglu, M. (author)As the shipping industry is growing, more and more propulsion systems are being developed with better propulsion capabilities. These current and newly developing systems in ships are expected to cause scour at beds around berthing structures with greater likelihood than the systems preceding them, which increases the importance of protection...master thesis 2015

Sangster, S.J. (author)Port locations are often selected to optimize access to land and navigable water. Many ports are therefore situated at the mouth of an estuary or along a coastline. Besides being economically important these locations are also often valuable from a biodiversity point of view. Human interventions along the coast such as port development often do...master thesis 2015

Tisheh, I. (author)Future-proof design of quay walls is an interesting issue in civil Engineering, because of the dynamic environment in which quay walls are operating. Designers are confronted with time-changing requirements such as larger retaining heights and heavier loads. However, a technical and financial analysis has revealed that the design of new quay...master thesis 2015

Watté, K.A.A. (author)As the LNG market continues to grow internationally, Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FSRU’s) have become an increasingly important component as governments and private companies strive for faster, cheaper and more flexible means of re-gasifying. In order to have a FSRU mooring system which is equally fast deliverable, standardization...master thesis 2015

Vrolijk, E.F. (author)The world population is growing. Together with the population, the need for resources is growing, as is the need for the transportation of these resources. A significant part is carried out through marine transport, directly relating to the increasing need for port development. All over the world, a shift increasingly occurs towards applying...master thesis 2015

Lamboo, M.C.T. (author)Dit rapport geeft een capaciteitsanalyse van de Prinses Margrietsluis in Lemmer (Friesland). De sluis met één kolk geeft toegang tot het Prinses Margrietkanaal / de Hoofdvaarweg Lemmer-Delfzijl en vormt de op één na belangrijkste verbinding voor de recreatievaart tussen het IJsselmeer en de Friese Meren. Een relatief hoog aandeel van de 40.000...master thesis 2015

Robijns, T. (author)Growing transportation rates and the subsequent growth in inland waterway transport have led to an increase in inland vessel sizes and draught. Due to the fluctuating water levels on rivers and these increasing draughts, the distance between the river bed and the ships are decreasing. Rijkswaterstaat wants to know the effects of sailing at these...master thesis 2015

Lee, E.K.C. (author)Een van de belangrijkste aspecten bij het ontwerp van een nieuwe binnenhaven of waterweg is de toegankelijkheid voor de scheepvaart. Tot medio de jaren 90 toen de Richtlijnen Vaarwegen werden gepubliceerd werd ontworpen op basis van het oordeel van ervaren nautici die zich aan de hand van bezoek, onderzoek van de stroming een beeld van de...master thesis 2014

Van Mierlo, F.A.J.M. (author)Wave climates in ports can determine the efficiency of port operations to a large extent, so good predictions of them are important. This thesis therefore focusses on the modelling of wave penetration in ports, using several numerical models as well as a physical model. The goal is to compare numerical wave models for the use of wave penetration...master thesis 2014

Dobrochinski, J.P.H. (author)Moored vessels are subject to wave forces and moments at different frequencies, which induce motions of the body and can be transferred to the mooring lines and fenders. Under extreme forcing and vessel motions, dangerous line breaking accidents can occur or the ship movements can be simply too large to continue the on/off-loading process,...master thesis 2014

Piccoli, C. (author)The assessment of port marine operations performance by means of simulation is treated in this master thesis project. The navigational services provided to vessel at the access channels, from their arrival to the berthing operations and from unberthing to vessels departure, are investigated and evaluated. In the case study, FlexSim is used as...master thesis 2014

Bakermans, B.A. (author)Traditionally, ports are located in areas protected by natural shelter. Shelter is needed for the safe mooring of vessels and for the efficient handling of containers and other cargo. Disadvantage of the areas which provide natural shelter is their limiting depth. Due to the increasingly bigger vessels, dredging in ports became inevitable....master thesis 2014

Roelse, F.P. (author)In the last decades shipping has increased significantly, resulting in larger ships with an increasing power in bow thrusters. Due to this increasing power, the hydraulic loads at bottom protection near quay structures has also increased, making a traditional bed protection more expensive. Therefore an alternative design method is suggested in...master thesis 2014

Dobrochinski, J.P.H. (author)Large capital and maintenance dredging operations are required to ensure the accessibility of many ports. The expenses associated with the dredging operations can have a significant impact on the finances of these ports. Therefore, considerable attention to the design of the width and depth aspects of access channels is justifiable. This study...master thesis 2014
