The Elephant In-Between

Within an area that presents edges with very different characteristics, surveilled and controlled to various extents, the proposal will focus on designing an intervention that will exercise control over the user through the qualities and through the use of the designed space.<br/>In addition, because the site presents the zone of the lagoon...

Garage: a concentrated parking infrastructure for the port of Beirut

As one of the important ports in the Mediterranean region, Port of Beirut is a<br/>cargo transit hub in Lebanon and even the Arab region. Every year, 6.2m tons of cargo is circulated through the port of Beirut and transported to Lebanon and surrounding areas.<br/>But the port’s logistics system faces many challenges. The previous civil war...

A case study of the new breakwater of the Port of Genova: Comparing the PIANC design method with the new EUROCODE

Breakwaters used to protect harbours and coastal areas worldwide are one of the most common coastal structures. The complexity of the physical processes associated with the design has led to the development of many empirical formulas while a standardized method for the selection of breakwaters’ design parameters in the EU does not yet exist. The...

Potential Hydrogen Export Port in Río Negro: A Multi-Criteria Analysis on the Optimal Location for a Potential Hydrogen Export Port in the Province of Río Negro, Argentina

Over the last years, the urge to reduce the world’s air pollutants is rapidly growing. New possibilities in order to replace fossil fuels have been explored and one of them is the usage of green hydrogen. The Argentinian, North Patagonian, province of Río Negro, has a great potential to generate green hydrogen on a large scale, due to the...

A single-objective, multi-period optimization model of an alternative maritime fuel supply chain network in the Port of Amsterdam

To reduce the CO2 emissions of the maritime industry, several alternative fuels are being researched to possibly achieve this goal. The absence of an infrastructure for alternative fuels in the current port environment is one of the barriers towards implementation of these high potential fuels. The goal of this thesis project was to create an...

Insular urbanities

Every human being is driven towards creating its own bubble, self-contained worlds, islands. It can be equally seen on the urban level where this insular condition is a proliferating phenomenon. The contemporary city is characterized by the widespread propension of certain metropolitan fragments to detach themselves from their continuum of the...

4th Harbour Scheveningen: Masterplan

This report considers a possible port expansion in port of Scheveningen, The Netherlands. The problems considered are brought forwards in the plans introduced by Dr. Ir. Waterman and are tackled from multiple disciplines. These problems relate to the recharge of the freshwater-lens, reachability of the port, flood protection of the Tweede Haven,...

Linking Energy and Logistics: Modelling a Network of Decentralised Batteries: The case study of an Electric Waterbus in Rotterdam

Local emission of especially particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) are haz- ardous for people living in close proximity. The municipality of Rotterdam can not yet comply with national regulation regarding N Ox and the current levels of N Ox pose a health risk for society (Gemeente Rotterdam). The Port of Rotterdam and local government...

San Vicente Port: Development plan for a multipurpose terminal

Evaluating cooperation policies for rail utilization in the port to hinterland freight transport system: A combined method approach

As the margins for improvements in the current freight transport system become limited, researchers address more and more the importance of collaboration between the actors which is crucial for the implementation of new, more efficient transport concepts as synchromodality. In addition, rail is concerned as a sustainable mode of transport that...

Maintenance dredging in the Port of Rotterdam: A research to the increase in maintenance dredging volume at Port of Rotterdam

The Port of Rotterdam (PoR), located in the Rhine-Meuse estuary, is subject to sedimentation. In order to keep the port accessible for vessels with high drafts, maintenance dredging works are done. The maintenance dredging over the port area is executed by two parties, PoR itself regarding the harbour basins and Rijkswaterstaat (RWS) regarding...
