Papendrecht, 21 December 2017
Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis) in a
consortium with Van Hattum en Blankevoort (Royal VolkerWessels) and
TBI subsidiary Mobilis has been awarded a contract by the Port of
Rotterdam Authority to build quay walls and a jetty, as well as to
execute related activities for the construction of a new tank
terminal in the port of Rotterdam. The contract is valued at more
than EUR 100 million, with Boskalis' share amounting to EUR 34
million. The project will commence in early 2018 and is expected to
be completed at the end of 2019.
HES International B.V. is building a new storage
terminal for oil products in the port of Rotterdam. To be able to
accommodate both large oil tankers and inland vessels, Boskalis and
its partners will construct a 1,200-meter long quay wall for
seagoing vessels, a 1,100-meter long quay wall for inland vessels,
a 350-meter long jetty with four berths as well as riverbank and
soil protection.
The Boskalis strategy is designed to benefit from
the key macro-economic drivers that fuel global demand in our
selected markets: global trade, increasing energy consumption,
population growth and the challenges of changing climate
conditions. This project is driven by the growth in global trade
and energy consumption.
