Zhou, Y. (author)As one of the most important freight transportation modes, maritime transport has been the backbone of international trade and global economy. From the cargo flow point of view, seaports and inland shipping link the individual countries and the global waterborne transportation networks. To analyze the current ship traffic and port performance or...doctoral thesis 2022

Bellsola Olba, X. (author)Vessel traffic in ports is a key issue due to the high increase in vessel flows that lead to busier waterways. This dissertation presents novel methodologies to assess vessel traffic in ports based on capacity and risk independently and jointly. These methodologies have been applied to case studies using simulation models and AIS data. They...doctoral thesis 2018

Van Doorn, R. (author)Research into hydraulic loads by a bow thruster. The hydraulic loads on the slope at an open quay construction on piles is investigated. The propeller (bow thruster) jet induces hydraulic loads on the bed, which could result in scour holes and damage to the quay construction. Performed scale model tests provide details about the hydraulic loads...master thesis 2012

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

ARES MORENO, ALEJANDRA (author)Due to the environmental awareness of the last decades, the concept of Green Port is introduced and used regularly. Nevertheless, an agreed-upon definition does not exist, leading to the rise of questions about what they are and how to develop them. For that reason, the aim of this research is to analyze and define what a Green Port is and to...master thesis 2018

de Boer, G.G. (author)This thesis report considers the topic of sustainable marina development. This term can be understood to be a combination of two terms; “sustainable development” and “marina”. Sustainable development in this research study has been considered in relation to the coastal zone and basically entails an approach to ensure a balance between the...master thesis 2016

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

Engelsman, H.M. (author)In this research the long-term effect of large-scale projects on organisational effectiveness is investigated with respect to organisational structure, -culture and working approach. This study is potentially relevant for the Port Authorities of Rotterdam and Antwerp, for organisations inspired by Industrial Ecological solutions and for...master thesis 2014

Ros, R. (author)Port of Rotterdam Authority decided to construct Maasvlakte 2 to cope with demand for port areas. Maasvlakte 2 is a business case driven project. The outcome of the business case has led to the construction of an entire sea defense and the realization of port areas in phases, in response to client demand. The phased development results in the...master thesis 2011

De Jong, J. (author)Introduction Bow thrusters are of great help for the navigation at quay walls, but the high and turbulent velocities can result in a bed load exceeding the strength of the bed or bed protection. To be able to design a stable bed the velocities at the bed need to be accurately determined. In design practise the velocities generated by a propeller...master thesis 2014

Van der Meer, J. (author)The port of Beira is an essential driver for economic growth in Mozambique. Its location, with strong connections to the hinterland, creates a promising future for the further development of the port. The port authority requires a new port master plan in order to optimise throughput over available ground and (wet) infrastructure, and to extend...master thesis 2013

Riezebos, H.J. (author)This MSc thesis report discusses a greenfield deep-sea port development in a developing country along a shallow oceanic coast. A port layout is developed based on a fictional cargo forecast. In the interest of port adaptivity, this layout is kept flexible as possible. The design is subsequently checked with regard to wave penetration and...master thesis 2013

Reijmerink, S.P. (author)Volgens de Waterwet dienen elke zes jaar de Hydraulische Randvoorwaarden (HR) te worden vastgesteld. De HR bestaan uit hoogwaterstanden en golfrandvoorwaarden voor de toetsing van waterkeringen gegeven overschrijdingskansen welke in de wet zijn vastgesteld. Ook voor waterkeringen in havens en afgeschermde gebieden dienen de HR vastgesteld te...master thesis 2012

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

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

Kerssens, P.A. (author)The distance between marinas along the Dutch coast is large. By building marinas on strategic locations along the coast, sailing times can be reduced significantly. However, building marinas bordering the North Sea is expensive due to the lack of sheltering from waves. Hook of Holland is such a strategic location, located at a distance of 30...master thesis 2013
