Haven Rotterdam HES Hartel tank terminal MariTeam

The HES Hartel Tank Terminal (HHTT) is a tank terminal being developed for the storage and trans-shipment of oil products and biofuels on the Hartel strip, on the south side of the Mississippi port on the Maasvlakte. The total site covers an area of 28 hectares.

With this project, too, a deep-sea quay was built that stretched the limits of what is feasible. In addition to this 1200m long quay, a 1000m long inland waterway was built, and a jetty of 255m long for 4 berths, together with an undertaking of necessary dredging works and interventions for bank and soil protection.

Once again, SBE was asked to carry out the design of the deep-sea quay, and under great time pressure. During the execution of the works, SBE had an assessing role, while also providing technical assistance.

    Port of Rotterdam

    The port of Rotterdam is the largest seaport in Europe. Together with MariTeam, a joint venture of SBE, MUC and Iv-Infra, the Port of Rotterdam Authority has found a partner for the design of its water-bound infrastructure, such as (deep sea) quay walls and jetties. SBE’s experience and technical expertise in the field of hydraulic engineering came in very handy for such complex realisations that were under intense time pressure.

    Offshore Terminal Rotterdam

    Maasvlakte 2 is an example of innovative and sustainable port development in Rotterdam. In order to respond to the rapidly growing offshore wind industry, a new terminal was built here with a total surface area of 42 hectares. This made it possible to expand the production and storage capacity of giant foundation piles of wind turbines (monopiles) for new wind farms at sea.

    The Port of Rotterdam Authority is working for its customers Rotterdam World Gateway and APM Terminals on the expansion of the quay walls for these container terminals. This extension involves the construction of a deep-sea quay wall with a length of almost 3km and accompanying crane track.
