Sharif Mohseni, N. (author)Container traffic has grown exponentially since 1980 and has become a reliable and efficient means of transportation of goods. In addition, world wide containerization and the availability of cheap and frequent container transport to all corners of the world have had a profound influence on industrial production, transport and the environment....master thesis 2011

Manaois, J.R.C. (author)Bigger ships are replacing the small ships, also at the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. A direct consequence is the use of larger main propellers and increased installed engine power in order to realize acceptable ship speeds. To improve the maneuverability, the power of auxiliary bow and stern propulsion systems has increased as well. This results in...master thesis 2011

Rispens, M.J. (author)Traditionally, water based public transport has a large contribution to the accessibility of rural areas in the Netherlands. Initiated by the industrial revolution a major shift from water based to land based public transport occurred. Until recent history water based public transport was considered unfeasible. Nowadays land based transport...master thesis 2011

Van Liere, C.A.M. (author)Door verstedelijking staat de infrastructuur in de provincie Zuid-Holland onder druk. Woon-werkverkeer en goederentransport zorgen dagelijks voor congestie op de wegen in de Randstad, versterkt door de groeiende vraag naar verplaatsingsmogelijkheden. Waar het wegen- en spoornetwerk onvoldoende reservecapaciteit heeft, biedt het vaarwegennetwerk...master thesis 2011

Heerema, R.N. (author)The Slufter is a large scale disposal facility for contaminated dredged material from the Dutch rivers, channels and harbour basins. It is located in the Rotterdam harbour, on the south-western tip of the Maasvlakte. Since the Slufter was built in 1987, the supply of contaminated dredged material has decreased significantly. As a result, it will...master thesis 2011

Van Wiechen, J.J.J. (author)This Master Thesis presents a numerical model analysis of the response of the Rhine ROFI on wind direction and speed. The aim of this study is to gain a further insight in the physical processes of the Rhine ROFI. Previous work on the Rhine ROFI focused mostly on tidal effects (straining and mixing) and inertial motions (earth rotation). Other...master thesis 2011

Boeyinga, J. (author)The workability of floating construction equipment is one of the elements in the construction phasing of the design of the Ashdod port extension in the south of Israel by DHV Consultancy and Engineering. Waves play an important role in the workability of floating equipment, since they induce motions to floating equipment with the possibility of...master thesis 2010

Nordbeck, P.M. (author)Maasvlakte 2 is het project waarmee de haven van Rotterdam wordt uitgebreid. Het sluit direct aan op de huidige Maasvlakte. De havenbekkens van beide Maasvlaktes worden verbonden door de Yangtzehaven in westelijke richting door te steken naar Maasvlakte 2. De doorsteek bestaat uit een voorfase waarin een kanaal wordt gegraven ten behoeve van de...master thesis 2009

Ballot, J.E.S. (author)Due to the planned construction of Maasvlakte 2 the E.ON power plant on the Maasvlakte will not discharge its heated water into the North Sea anymore, but in the harbour basins itself. This together with a planned increase of the total amount of thermal discharges in the Maasvlakte area (power plants of EnecoGen and Electrabel, chemical industry...master thesis 2008

Van Kruchten, Y.J.G. (author)The potential ecological effects of the sand mining activities for Maasvlakte 2 have been identified in an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). One of the identified effects in this EIA was an impact on the number of sea ducks in the Natura 2000 area 'Voordelta'. The sand mining activities will cause an increase of the silt concentration along...master thesis 2008

Froeling, D.W. (author)De verkeersbelasting op de A15, de belangrijkste ontsluitingsweg van de Rotterdamse haven, zal mede door de sterke groei van de containeroverslag, fors groeien. Vanuit het oogpunt van de bereikbaarheid en luchtkwaliteit is dit absoluut onwenselijk. Deze problematiek vormde de aanleiding voor het idee van een Container Transferium: Het basisidee...master thesis 2008

Van den Berg, A. (author)Model simulations on the basis of uniform (non-graded) sediment reveal a strong overestimation of the scour hole in the area directly to west of Maasvlakte I when compared to the measured scour hole. Data analysis shows that the scour hole developed in a former complex estuarine system. The analysis strongly suggests that erosion occurred...master thesis 2007

De Bruijn, F.A. (author)The Breeddiep is a connecting waterway between the Nieuwe Waterweg and Calandkanaal, in the west of the Rotterdam port area. It is predominantly used by inland vessels travelling from the hinterland to the Maasvlakte, in the utmost west part of the port. It is a narrow waterway in a dynamic environment with respect to tidal and fluvial currents....master thesis 2007

Schonewille, H.H. (author)The Port of Rotterdam has requested to investigate siltation problems and the silt trap in the Waalhaven. Before the computational modelling can be started it needs to be investigated whether the computational model, DELFT3D, is suitable to the problem. The Waalhaven is a relatively small area, compared to other DELFT3D problems. The final...master thesis 2006

Bosschieter, C.G. (author)De afgelopen tien jaar is gebleken dat de rivieren in Nederland, en met name de Rijn, een afvoerregime vertonen dat verandert, en dat er regelmatig extreem lage en hoge afvoeren zijn. De meest recente extreem lage waterstanden werden geregistreerd in 2003. In 1993 en 1995 werd Nederland geconfronteerd met overstromingen wegens extreem hoge...master thesis 2005

Eversdijk, M. (author)This new land will be exposed to a North Sea wave climate and tidal currents. Severe erosion of the dunes and a large draw back of the coastline has to be avoided. One of the possibilities to influence the wave climate and thus the sediment transport nearshore is by using a perched beach with a submerged breakwater (see Figures A2 and A3). The...master thesis 2005
