Polder Terminal: A risk based design

New container ports are mostly constructed on low lying coastal areas or in shallow coastal waters. The quay wall and terminal yard are then raised to a level well above mean sea level to insure safety against inundation. The resulting ‘conventional terminal’ requires large volumes of good quality fill material often dredged from the sea which...

Developing a Tool for Designing a Container Terminal Yard

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....

Port Design - Nador

Along the northern coast of Morocco order has been given for the construction of a large transshipment port in the Mediterranean Sea, at a designated project location around the city of Nador.

Development of the hub port of Colombo, Sri Lanka

The Port of Colombo, Sri Lanka, is an important hub port in the Indian Ocean. A hub port is a port with mainly transhipment (and in this case container) throughput, which means that most of the cargo is not for the country itself, but for countries in the region. The yearly container throughput at the Port of Colombo reached its full capacity of...

Combi-terminal: Studie naar het toepassen van het combi-terminal concept op een moderne marine terminal

De kaden bij de marine containerterminals in Noord-Westeuropa hebben een lage bezettingsgraad. De investeringen in de kaden leveren daardoor een laag rendement op. Als oplossing voor dit probleem is het combi-terminal concept naar voren gekomen in de voorgaande studie "Innovatief kade-concept". Bij dit concept worden naast containerschepen ook...
