In Vietnam, Rent-A-Port and IPEM are operating and investing under the umbrella of the specialized company ‘Infra-Asia Ltd’.
The petrochemical jetty port system (built by IPEM, Rent-A-Port and Petro-Vietnam together) was host to more than 1.000 ships and barges and became the recognized petrochemical transportation hub of the Northern provinces in Vietnam. 12 12
Hai Phong Vietnam : Dinh Vu - Industrial Zone The liquid jetty and the tank farms of the deep sea port of Dinh Vu (Hai Phong) in Vietnam, have been designed, financed and supervised by Rent-A-Port in 1999 and are now an extremely successful port facility. Ipem and Rent-A-port are now successfully implementing various other projects of Industrial Zones and Deep Sea Ports in Vietnam starting from the experience and the local knowhow built up in Dinh Vu (Haiphong).
In more detail ‌ Rent-A-Port and IPEM are co-investors and managers of the Dinh Vu Industrial Zone (DVIZ), developing a low-lying land area of over 1.000 hectares into a modern industrial park and deep-sea port in Hai Phong, Northern Vietnam. At present more than 20 companies are operating in the DVIZ. They represent sectors such as petrochemicals, liquid gasses, steel-making and animal feeds. This project brings together port facilities, continuously improved utilities, infrastructural works and a one-stop efficient management system. Dinh Vu Deep Sea Port began operations on the 9th of May 2005 with the inauguration of the first berth for general cargo. Since then 1.6 million tonnes of cargo have been handled. Construction of the second and third berths are upcoming. A major upgrading program for the deepening and widening of the access channel to the Haiphong Port system has been completed, allowing vessels up to 30.000 DWT to sail into the Dinh Vu port System. Substantial investments were made to develop general utilities focused on water, electricity and telecommunications. In order to satisfy the petrochemical clients’ demands, it was decided to increase the jetty capacity by a second 20.000 DWT jetty, with sufficient capacity to serve the entire petrochemical zone. This second liquid jetty is now under construction and will be completed in 2009.

Antwerp Stone Terminal Antwerp Stone Terminal is located on the left bank of the Port of Antwerp. The unloading facility of aggregates forms part of a ‘pseudo quarry’ concept. The raw materials are extracted from quarries in Norway and Scotland (one of the world’s largest operational quarries) and transported with large selfdischarging vessels to the Antwerp Stone Terminal, where the aggregates are produced according to European Standards for concrete and road applications. The finished product is transported to different building sites by road, rail and sea. The exploitation surface of the terminal is about 10HA with a storage capacity of 500.000 tons. The automated discharge installation of the vessels is designed to guarantee a throughput of 6.000 tons/hour, for granules not bigger than 20mm. In total the investment is in excess of 7 million Euros. The stacker is built on a drained and stabilized platform, with metal piles up to 20 meters deep. The unloaded material first drops in a buffer hopper of 40m3 and is then transported with a first conveyor belt to the distribution box. A second conveyor perpendicular to the first one transports the material to the stock. A crushing and sieving plant turns the raw materials into the right size of aggregates.

Africa terminal - Hamburg The Africa terminal is located at Kirchenpauerkai in Hamburg, Germany. The unloading installation has a capacity of 2400 tons per hour and consists of a receiving hopper and a belt conveyor for storage of aggregates, with a stock capacity of approx. 40.000 tons. Bulk carriers or dredgers moored alongside the quay and equipped with a self-unloading installation discharge the materials in the receiving hopper. The reclaiming belt conveyor takes over the materials below the hopper and throws them back about 50m further at a height of 20m. During unloading, the whole equipment hopper and conveyor can be moved alongside the quay in such a way that the stock can be extended.

View of automated loading installation
Offloading Aggregates in the port of Flushing The gravel unloading installation is located in the Industrial Zone in the West-Port of Flushing (the Netherlands). The equipment consists of a receiving hopper and belt conveyors for storage of aggregates, and has a capacity of 2 400 tons per hour. The bulk carriers or the hopper-dredgers with selfunloading equipment are moored alongside two large mooring piles equipped with fenders. On these piles, vertical fenders allow the ships to move up and down with the tidal variation. Between these piles, a catwalk equipped with a removable platform permits access to the deck of the ship. The first part of the unloading installation (receiving hopper and the first part of a collecting belt conveyor) is built off-shore on piles. The second part of the belt conveyor is built on-shore on pylons. This conveyor feeds a movable belt conveyor installed on strong steel supports at a height of 25m above the stock piling area which has a capacity of 100.000 tons. All materials are treated in a washing, crushing and screening plant and serve the concrete or the chemical industry. Supply of the end-products for the concrete industry is done by inland waterways. The fully automated loading installation of which the capacity rises to 800 tons per hour consists of three hoppers and a loading belt conveyor. The hoppers are fed with the different end-products. As such the blending of products is possible and different size ranges of sand and aggregates are sold depending on the customer’s wishes. The loading belt is movable and the top end above the ships can rise or lower in function of the tides. This loading band is partially built on piles (off-shore) and partially on pylons (on-shore).

Port of Caronte - Cement terminal This white cement terminal is situated nearby Marseille in France. Cement vessels are unloaded via cranes or a Kovako vacuum unloading system which brings the product to cement storage tanks of 6.000 m3 each. This type of storage is a unique system which has already proven its efficiency and cost advantages. A fully automated unloading system brings the product out of the tank and via a screw and elevator system the loading silos are filled. Bulk trucks are loaded and weighted automatically. Currently the terminal is expanding and a complete new storage facility of several storage tanks equipped with reclaiming installations is under construction. This terminal has been designed and commissioned by Rent-A-Port’s strategic partner, the company Sea-Tech.
This innovative storage system is approximately 40% more economical than classical silos and it offers huge savings in terms of construction time.

Port of Sete - Cement terminal This Cement Terminal is situated in the Port of Sete, near Marseille in France, and is designed and operated by Sea-Tech, Rent-A-Port’s strategic partner. The terminal consists of a dedicated quay for the unloading of cement with an annual throughput of more than 300.000 tons per year. Weekly several ships up to 5.000 tons are unloaded via a fully automated and dust free unloading system. A movable Siwertell-system of screws brings the product out of the vessel into a pressure vessel that pushes the product to the unique and cost efficient storage area via a pneumatic transportation system. The product is stored in a warehouse via several access channels. For loading a fully automated scraping installation brings the product to a conveyor belt system that feeds the loading hoppers. Several bulk trucks are loaded per hour, in a environmentally friendly condition.

Experiences in exploitation of quarries and loading of vessels The “Quarry of Boulonnais” is located in Ferques in France and currently extracts and markets 6 million tons of limestone aggregates per year. Production is shipped to France, Great Britain and the Nordic Countries. Well established in its markets, having substantial reserves and operating permits, Carrières du Boulonnais is a well-known major player with regard to industrial and public works or infrastructures. Rent-A-Port and the Quarry of Boulonnais have developed a close cooperation and are also undertaking joint projects abroad under that cooperation agreement.
32
Quarry of Boulonnais (Carrieres du Boulonnais) The raw materials are treated in a primary crusher where a selection of blocks and a first crushing operation is done. Via the washing installation, where the material is washed in clear water in two large rotating cylinders, the products are fed into the second crusher to reduce the particle-size distribution of the pre-ground product (primary output).
Dependent on its quality the product is then routed to either processing for the production and direct shipment to construction and public work • Physical customers of any combination of finished product made from 12 core products produced and stocked in 1.000 ton silos. Its capacity is 800 tons per hour. The loading is automated over three lines and the variety of possible products is unlimited up to a maximum size of 90 mm processing, where the sorting and particle size reduction facility (800 tons per hour) is • Chemical used to produce limestone, chemically selected gravel and flux stone (sand for metallurgy) and allows loading from a hopper. Transport logistics are diversified and customized according to volume and deadline demands and is performed by dump trucks, tank trucks and platforms, full tonnage trains, river barges and cargo ships. The quarry is able to load up to 40.000 tons of material per day.

Mussandam Rock - Oman
Rent-A-Port is a partner and operator in this huge quarry. This 200 hectares aggregates concession is located on the mountainous Musandam Peninsula, as part of Ghassah Bay in the northern part of Oman. The quarry is one of the biggest in the Middle-East, with reserves in excess of 500 million tons. Exploration started a few years ago. By the drilling and blasting, raw materials are produced and the big rocks are sorted by size and weight. With dumpers armour rock is transported to the floating jetty and loaded onto pontoons. These rocks go to various breakwater projects and artificial islands in the Middle-East. A crushing plant with a capacity of 2.600 tons per hour is currently being installed. This installation breaks the rock into aggregates. A 350m long conveyor belt with a capacity of 2.500 ton per hour then transports the products into the ships. The limestone of the quarry is of high quality and purity.
