Foreword

At a glance – key benefits of Zeeland Seaports

his is the Zeeland Seaports Handbook: a publication that is issued every two years and contains everything you need to know about our ports. In fascinating articles, you can read about the wealth of activities in our port area. International production companies have chosen – and continue to choose – Zeeland Seaports for their operations. And numerous logistics companies benefit from the favourable location of our ports, which enables us to offer a wide range of dedicated terminals for a broad cargo package. Naturally, all the relevant details about the ports of Vlissingen and Terneuzen are arranged logically in the handbook and the index of companies provides a clear overview of all the firms operating from our port area. If I just scroll through this information, I notice how much has changed in the past two years. Quays have been extended, depths modified, companies have gone and new ones have set up business here. This means that the handbook actually provides evidence of the dynamism of our ports – a dynamism that

ensures that our ports continue to play an important role in the market. We have great ambitions in this respect and we consider ourselves fortunate that the port business community continues to invest despite the current economic situation. They, too, see the possibilities and opportunities open to them and the Zeeland ports.

What is special about this new handbook is that we now have a digital version available alongside the printed one. The digital version is not a literal copy of the paper edition. The articles in the printed edition are, in fact, abridged versions of the digital texts. In conjunction with the publisher, Land & Marine Publications Ltd, we have tried in this way to make this handbook a handy, easy-to-read edition that can also be read electronically on, for example, your tablet or laptop. Scroll through quickly to see how it works. Enjoy! Dick Gilhuis Chief Commercial Officer Zeeland Seaports

Introduction

Ideal location for business development

eeland Seaports is the one of the largest ports in the Netherlands, handling about 33 million tonnes of seaborne cargo each year and 34 million tonnes of inland shipping. It is also the fastest-growing port in the country and a leading player in many sectors in the wider North Sea region.

Linked The two port complexes of Vlissingen and Terneuzen have been linked for many years. Since 1988 they have become a unified force in the maritime industry, combining their strengths and logistical advantages to handle a diverse range of cargo.

While Vlissingen is essentially a deepsea cargo hub, Terneuzen mainly serves inland shipping and the region’s large chemical industry. The strengths of Zeeland Seaports are twofold. First, the two ports are readily accessible by road, rail, inland waterway, pipeline and, of course, by sea. In this ports complex, the best of all modes of transport combine to create an intermodal and multimodal hub. The second strength of Zeeland Seaports is its dedication. Its slogan ‘driven by dedication’ is not a loose statement but an indication of the personal approach, attention to detailRotterdam and commitment to quality that all its customers, large and small can expect to receive.

Introduction

The port also benefits from a good relationship with the surrounding municipalities. A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;can doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attitude is tempered by a strong environmental awareness. This has been a leading factor in the development of existing services and the creation of new ones. It all adds up to a port company that is focused on the customer and offers unique advantages for business development.

Added value The ports industry generates about 32,000 jobs across the province, accounting for some 18 per cent of added value in the Province of Zeeland.

Introduction

leading port in Europe for forest products and fruit. In addition there is a growing importance for project cargo, especially for offshore wind projects. However, the largest cargo by volume is liquid and dry bulks. Other cargoes include agricultural products, chemicals, metals and new cars. Despite the tough economic times, investment has continued, both by Zeeland Seaports and by many of the terminal operators and other stakeholders, in development of the infrastructure.

Investments

While the two ports handled 33 million tonnes of cargo in 2012, the goal of Zeeland Seaports is to be handling 50 million tonnes of maritime cargo by 2020 along with 40 million tonnes of inland shipping. Apart from a dip in 2009, resulting from the worldwide recession, maritime and inland cargo has increased every year or remained stable. All forecasts point to a gradual increase in the foreseeable future. Providing more container handling facilities is still a key ambition for Zeeland Seaports; and while there are still obstacles to overcome, the achieving of that ambition is getting closer by the year. Plans are in place for the much heralded Westerschelde Container Terminal, but in the near future the realisation of a smaller container terminal inside the port is first priority of the port company in order to meet market demands. Zeeland Seaports is the largest port in the Netherlands for general cargo, with 7.4 million tonnes handled in 2010. It is also a

Other investments for Zealand Seaports include: finalisation of the Autrichehaven where the first customer, Mammoet, opened a new terminal; a new quay for the storage and stevedoring company Sealake in the Westhofhaven; an extension of the deepsea quay and more rail loading capacity for the dry bulk specialist Ovet at the Kaloothaven; the extension of the oil jetty in the Braakmanhaven due to the expansion of Oiltanking; and the creation of Maintenance Valuepark, providing a cluster site for construction and maintenance companies in Terneuzen. Despite the economic downturn, various companies have also invested. Verbrugge has expanded its storage capacity for cellulose and aluminium in Vlissingen and also built liquid bulk facilities for storing liquid fertilisers. Vesta and Oiltanking have built new tanks for storage of liquid bulk in Vlissingen and Terneuzen. Supermaritime Nederland has built a new terminal at Scaldiahaven, and Euro-Mit has enlarged its storage and production capacity. The future looks exciting for Zeeland Seaports, with increased traffic, new investment and high innovation competing for prominence in an ever-growing portfolio of excellence and dedication.

Zeeland Seaports

One voice, one vision

eeland Seaports is the company in charge of the ports of Terneuzen and Vlissingen, the third-largest port complex in the Netherlands. Zeeland Seaports is responsible for managing and developing the port facilities in an area covering the municipalities of Borsele, Terneuzen and Vlissingen. These three municipalities, together with the Province of Zeeland, are shareholders in Zeeland Seaports.

infrastructure, such as road, rail, quays, basins and utilities. A new port management information system, PortXcs, was introduced in 2009. This system plays an important role in supporting the process and planning of ships and cargoes in both ports. PortXcs complies with the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code and also serves as a port community system. This means it can be used by agents to order services from Zeeland Seaports and also settle all administrative obligations towards organisations such as Customs.

The port company is authorised to buy land and contract it to eligible users. It also collects port fees and issues port regulations. Zeeland Seaports has taken a lead, too, in providing new infrastructure for the region and for maintenance of the existing

Port Facilities

Highly versatile port facilities

eeland Seaports port facilities consists of a range of terminals and berths at two principal locations on the Westerschelde.

products, chemicals, dry and liquid bulks, fertilisers, metals, minerals, ores and project cargo. Its metal handling facilities are LME-accredited.

The deepwater Port of Vlissingen was originally built to serve the needs of heavy industry, although today it has diversified into a truly multipurpose facility. Meanwhile, the Port of Terneuzen, situated at the entrance to the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal, has quays and terminals fronting the Westerschelde river as well as behind the locks in the canal.

The port is actually in two locations. Most cargo handling activities are carried out in Vlissingen-Oost, but the original harbour in the town, the Buitenhaven, is still active, especially in the liquid bulk handling sector. The Buitenhaven is also the proposed location for a future cruise terminal.

Vlissingen Covering an area of 2,400 hectares, Vlissingen lies just a few kilometres from the North Sea on the north bank of the Westerschelde. The port is home to major industrial facilities, plus a wide range of cargo handling facilities. Principal cargoes handled at Vlissingen include new cars, forest products, refrigerated products, containers, oil and oil

In particular, Vlissingen is the largest port for forest products in Europe, although it handles virtually every type of cargo, regardless of size or weight.

Port Facilities

Vlissingen-Oost is a large complex of quays and terminals. It has over 8.5 km of quays, together with large hinterland areas for additional activities. In addition, two major shipyards are located within the harbour. Large volumes of raw materials for chemical plants and other industrial companies are imported and exported by sea for distribution throughout Europe and beyond from Vlissingen. In addition, because of its deepwater quays and easy access, a growing area of business for Vlissingen is the offshore sector, especially support services for the construction of wind farms.

Terneuzen The Terneuzen port area covers about 2,200 hectares with some 5 km of quays. It stretches from the deepwater Braakman Harbour to the industrial town of Sas van Gent. The lock system at the canal entrance accepts seagoing vessels up to 265 metres in length, 37 metres breadth and 12.5 metres draught. A new lock is under construction to provide access for larger vessels.

Principal cargoes handled at Terneuzen include oil and oil products; chemicals; dry bulks such as fertilisers; metals, minerals and ores; and forest products. One of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s key sectors is the chemical industry, which relies heavily on the first-rate infrastructure of Terneuzen and its network of quality support services. The port areas are surrounded by worldclass companies that have chosen Terneuzen as their European production and distribution base. The area has also become a centre for sustainable industries and green activities. It complements the cargo hub activities of the Port of Vlissingen, although several companies such as Ovet and Verbrugge have operations in both ports. Terneuzen has dedicated sites for the chemical industry and logistics companies in Valuepark Terneuzen. It also leads the way in sustainable development thanks to a series of public-private partnerships. A good example is Biopark Terneuzen, a centre for the biotechnology industry.

Multimodal connections

eeland Seaports benefits greatly from first-rate transport links with the hinterland, allowing cargo to be moved by road, rail, inland waterway and sea with maximum efficiency. The ports are located close to the North Sea and there is no shortage of logistics companies offering services to and from Zeeland. In addition, development land is available for cargo hubs. The ports are ideal locations, too, for transhipment traffic destined for other northern European ports, Scandinavia, the UK and Iberia. Zeelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main highways allow heavy traffic to move freely through the mostly rural landscape. From Vlissingen the A58/ E312 connects with other key routes, while

Terneuzen has equally good access to Belgian and French markets. The ports are linked by the N62 via the Westerschelde Road Tunnel, which has reduced journey time between the two ports to less than 30 minutes. By 2015 the new Sluiskiltunnel under the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal will be completed, making the NorthSouth connection even better

Direct links The rail network connecting the Netherlands with Germany includes various facilities at both Terneuzen and Vlissingen. Vlissingen has direct links to the European rail network, while lines from Terneuzen go via Ghent.

Multimodal connections

• The Schelde-Rhine Canal provides a 37 km short cut between the River Schelde Antwerp and Rotterdam. • The Zuid-Beveland Canal, west of the Schelde-Rhine Canal, provides an alternative route to Rotterdam. • The Walcheren Canal connects the River Schelde and Vlissingen with Middelburg and the Veerse Meer.

DB Schenker Rail Nederland is the largest freight operator, serving all the major Dutch seaports on a daily basis including Terneuzen and Vlissingen.

•

The Seine Nord Europe Canal will link the rivers Seine and Schelde via a important link between Compiègne and Cambrai to allow navigation between Zeeland and Paris.

The Netherlands has the densest network of inland waterways in Europe, with some 2,200 km used commercially by Class IV barges and higher. About 40 per cent of international freight movements to and from Dutch ports are carried via the waterway system as far away as the Black Sea. Major waterway routes from Zeeland’s ports: • The Ghent-Terneuzen Canal links both ports with the River Schelde.

Liner services There is a wide range of liner shipping services providing regular links between Zeeland Seaports and other major ports worldwide.

Japan, Mexico, Morocco, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Suriname, Turkey, Uruguay, the UK and the USA.

First rate multimodal connections with the hinterland

oth Terneuzen and Vlissingen benefit from first-rate transport links with the hinterland, allowing cargo to be moved by road, rail, inland waterway and sea with maximum efficiency. The two ports are close to the North Sea and, with the major ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam in close proximity, there is no shortage of logistics companies offering services to and from Zeeland. Many logistics providers and haulage companies have bases in Terneuzen and Vlissingen. They handle everything from containers to refrigerated cargo to liquid bulks to project and specialist cargoes. In addition, development land is available in both port areas for cargo hubs.

Road Zeeland’s main highways run east-west and north-south, allowing heavy traffic to move freely through the mostly rural landscape. For example, from Vlissingen the A58/E312 connects with other key routes, allowing trucks to complete the 245 km journey to Duisburg, in the heart of the Ruhr, in less than three hours. Europoort is a similar distance away. Terneuzen has equally good connections with the European road network and is well placed to serve Belgian and French markets. Improvements to the N62, which links Vlissingen with Terneuzen via the 6.6 km Westerschelde Road Tunnel, has reduced the journey time between the two ports to less than 30 minutes. The highway has now been dualled throughout.

The Zeeland Provincial Council has unanimously approved the €295.6 million budget for construction of a new road tunnel under the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal – the Sluiskiltunnel. This will make the North-South connection even better and is expected to open in mid 2015.

Rail The rail network connecting the Netherlands with Germany offers a range of transport solutions, with facilities at both Terneuzen and Vlissingen for cargo handling companies. Zeeland Seaports wants to encourage greater use of the rail network with a view to protecting the environment. There are initiatives in the province to promote rail transport. Vlissingen has direct links to the European rail network, while lines from Terneuzen go via Ghent. The largest freight operator, DB Schenker Rail Nederland, is part of the transport and logistics division of Deutsche Bahn AG, an international logistics services provider with major interests in forwarding, air freight, seaborne cargo, road haulage and rail transport. DB Schenker Rail is responsible for rail transport operations on the European Continent. This is reinforced by the group’s presence on major international transport routes, allowing it to offer competitive transport solutions. Investing in multivoltage locomotives has made it possible to operate non-stop cross-border services.

The company’s trains serve all the major Dutch seaports, including Terneuzen and Vlissingen, on a daily basis. Its activities include the storage and processing terminals in these ports, while in the hinterland it also serves several large companies located in major industrial centres.

Barge The Netherlands has Europe’s densest network of inland waterways, with some 2,200 km used commercially by Class IV barges and higher. Inland waterways offer the most efficient and reliable means of transport. About 40 per cent of international freight movements to and from Dutch ports are carried via the waterway system deep into the European hinterland and as far as the Black Sea. The waterways serving Zeeland Seaports are designated Inland Waterways of International Importance (E waterways) by the United Nations. Those serving Terneuzen and Vlissingen/Westerschelde – the E03 and E04 waterways respectively – are regarded as the main elementary parts of the E waterway network.

Multimodal connections

Currently, E waterways must be able to accommodate the basic requirements of Class IV Johann Welker barges, whose minimum dimensions are 80 to 85 metres x 9.5 metres and of 1,000 to 1,500 dwt. As the network is modernised, however, the minimum dimensions must satisfy the larger Class Va Rhine barges (95 to 110 metres x 11.4 metres and 1,500 to 3,000 dwt). The main waterway routes from Zeeland’s ports are: • The Ghent-Terneuzen Canal. Links the port of Terneuzen with the River Schelde. • The Schelde-Rhine Canal. Provides a 37 km short cut between the River Schelde. Antwerp and Rotterdam. •

The Zuid-Beveland Canal. To the west of the Schelde-Rhine Canal, this 100 metre wide waterway provides an alternative route to Rotterdam.

•

The Walcheren Canal. Connects the River Schelde and Vlissingen with Middelburg and the Veerse Meer and gives access to the European waterway system.

•

The Seine Nord Europe Canal. This €4.7 billion scheme, due for completion in 2016, is designed to link the rivers Sein and Scheldt via an important link between Compiègne and Cambrai to enable Class Vb vessels of 4,400 dwt to navigate between the Zeeland Seaports and Paris. It is anticipated that the Seine Nord Europe Canal will handle about 10 million tonnes of cargo in its first year, later growing to 30 million tonnes a year.

Transhipment Terneuzen and Vlissingen are ideal locations for transhipment cargoes destined for other north European ports, Iberia, the UK and Scandinavia.

Biopark Terneuzen

Sustainable benefits from bio-based initiatives

iopark Terneuzen represents a new approach to agro-industrial sustainability. Established in February 2007 in an area with a strong industrial base – embracing the electrical, engineering, petrochemical and shipbuilding sectors – Biopark promotes and facilitates the exploitation of key synergies between businesses located in the same geographical area. Specifically, Biopark maximises the potential of the exchange and use of by-products and waste products from various companies, which then become feedstock, energy or utility supplements for their own production processes. These ‘smart links’ challenge the traditional notions of sustainability and provide an innovative solution to good stewardship of the environment and its resources. Zeeland Seaports was one of the main initiators of Biopark Terneuzen, viewing it as a logical extension of its overall management and development responsibility for the port areas of Terneuzen and Vlissingen.

Though the Biopark is still being developed, many companies are already engaging in mutually beneficial long-term projects. For example, Electrawinds Greenfuel (biodiesel), Yara (ammonia and mineral fertilisers), Glastuinbouw ZeeuwsVlaanderen (greenhouses) are linked by pipeline systems that allow them to exchange and reuse by-products and waste products such as energy, feedstock and utility supplements.

Profitability Importantly for businesses, smart linking can eliminate storage and disposal costs, reduce environmental taxes, optimise production costs and improve profitability. In the wider context, these biocomplementary partnerships combine to help conserve non-renewable resources, exploit the recoverable value of resources after first use, and reduce the waste and pollution burden on the atmosphere and the physical environment. In addition, they contribute to the sustainability of future industrial growth.

Biopark Terneuzen

This has led to a large, skilled and still growing workforce, recruited from the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excellent technical schools and training centres â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a resource that compares with the best in Europe. In terms of numbers, range of skills and dedication, the available workforce is well able to satisfy and sustain the demands of future industrial growth.

State-of-the-art Another bio-based initiative in the region is Bio Base Europe, a joint initiative by Biopark Terneuzen and Ghent Bio-Energy Valley to build state-of-the-art research and training facilities to speed up economic growth, capacity for innovation and sustainable biobased development. At Bio Base Europe, various parties work together by sharing equipment, knowledge

and insights while also guaranteeing confidentiality. Pilot projects can be carried out on behalf of customers in the chemical, agro-industrial, energy and food sectors from all over the world.

The Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant, located in Ghent, is a flexible facility capable of scaling up and optimising a broad range of bio-based processes. It is operated on an open innovation service model whereby companies and research institutes active in the bio-based economy can rent facilities for technological development. In addition, the Bio Base Europe Training Centre in Terneuzen is a centre for education, networking and promotion of the development of a sustainable bio-based economy. It offers general and company-specific training and is closely attuned to market demand.

Valuepark Terneuzen

Vital asset for region’s chemical industry

aluepark Terneuzen is a chemical and logistics industrial park established as a 50-50 joint venture between Zeeland Seaports and the chemical giant Dow Benelux. As an integrated chemical site, the Valuepark offers first-rate opportunities for achieving economies of scale, reducing the amount of handling and transport activities and enjoying success through co-operation with other stakeholders. Companies settling at the 140 hectare Valuepark can benefit both from the logistics expertise of Zeeland Seaports and from the proximity of the Dow Benelux complex. For businesses that use Dow’s intermediate or derivative products, being based at the park offers many benefits. Dow’s manufacturing facility at Terneuzen is its largest outside the United States. It encompasses a 1.7 million tonne per year

cracker complex with 26 plants producing a range of chemicals and materials. The Valuepark is divided into a 110 hectare chemical manufacturing site and a 30 hectare logistics park. A total of 80 hectares is still available for further investment.

Logistics The Valuepark has rapidly positioned itself as a European chemical hub, having attracted major companies such as Bertschi, Katoen Natie, Oiltanking, Value Solutions Logistics (VSL) and SGS Nederland. Zeeland Seaports’ role in the joint venture is to develop the site infrastructure as well as working with Dow to market the site to potential investors. On-site facilities include a cogeneration plant, water supply, waste water removal facilities and the supply of industrial oxygen and nitrogen.

Multi Utility Providing

Sustainability through multi utility provision

ustainability is an active component of all operations in Zeeland Seaports. A key part of this process is helping to develop sustainable industry and improve the sustainability of existing industries along the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal. An ongoing project by Zeeland Seaports called Hidden Connections seeks to do just this by developing a market for so-called multi utility providers (MUPs) in the GhentTerneuzen Canal region.

sufficient infrastructure, both physical and organisational, to link the various users with each other. This is called a ‘smart link’. The MUPs consist of both the infrastructure provider – managing the pipeline corridor and administering the various utility providers – and the utility providers themselves, who can be either contracted suppliers or consumers.

Valuepark Terneuzen

Vital asset for regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chemical industry

aluepark Terneuzen is a chemical and logistics industrial park established as a 50-50 joint venture between Zeeland Seaports and the chemical giant Dow Benelux. Companies taking up residence in the 140 hectare Valuepark are able to take advantage of the logistics expertise of Zeeland Seaports as well as the proximity of the Dow Benelux complex, its largest outside the United States.

Dowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manufacturing facility at Terneuzen is its largest outside the United States. It encompasses a 1.7 million tonne per year cracker complex, with 26 plants producing a range of chemicals and materials, from hydrocarbons such as styrene monomer, benzene and ethyl benzene to styrenics, plastics and polyurethane.

Valuepark Terneuzen is an integrated facility. All the necessary services are co-sited at one location and the Valuepark makes optimum use of synergies between the various partners.

Valuepark Terneuzen was created with the aim of developing a multi-occupation site not only for companies serving Dow but also for other third-party operations.

As an integrated chemical site, the Valuepark offers first-rate opportunities for achieving an economy of scale, reducing the amount of handling and transport activities and enjoying success through co-operation with other stakeholders. For businesses that use Dowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intermediate or derivative products, being based at the park offers many benefits. In addition, there are opportunities for joint research and development projects.

Third-party

HANDBOOK PLUS

Valuepark Terneuzen

The Valuepark is divided into a 110 hectare chemicals manufacturing site and a 30 hectare logistics park. A total of 80 hectares is still available for further investment.

European hub The Valuepark has rapidly positioned itself as a European chemical hub, having attracted major companies such as Bertschi, Katoen Natie, Oiltanking, Value Solutions Logistics (VSL) and SGS Nederland. Other companies are looking seriously at investing in the site. Zeeland Seaports’ role in the joint venture is to develop the site infrastructure as well as working with Dow to market the site to potential investors. On-site facilities include a cogeneration plant operated by AES and the utilities company Delta; water supplied by Evides; municipal waste water removal facilities; and industrial oxygen and nitrogen supplied by Air Liquide and Air Products. There is also a shared water system capable of serving the whole Valuepark. A land lease contract is offered to new companies and Zeeland Seaports helps them to gain the necessary permits. The synergies with Dow extend beyond using the same raw materials and end products. With infrastructure provided, new customers only need to invest in technology and outsource other activities through cooperation.

Innovative While outsourcing of activities is a key part of Zeeland Seaports’ vision for the Valuepark, it also wants to extend the chain by attracting companies that transform chemicals and plastics into products.

Dow Benelux and Zeeland Seaports have jointly invested some €80 million in developing the park infrastructure. As well as having ready access to their preferred materials, companies renting space at Valuepark benefit from the fact that all the infrastructure is managed for them.

Advantages The Valuepark has brought significant environmental as well as logistical advantages. Before the park was established, raw materials such as naphtha and benzene used by Dow were also stored in Rotterdam, Antwerp or Ghent and then shipped in barges to Terneuzen. The Valuepark is also a vital part of Zeeland Seaports’ mission to achieve sustainable development. On-site storage terminals, together with pipelines connected to plants on the Dow site, have reduced the number of road shipments by 30,000 trips and, in turn, have cut back overall carbon dioxide emissions by over 800 tonnes a year.

Multi Utility Providing

Sustainability through multi utility providing

accessible. This latter variant includes distribution pipes to the businesses and is the easiest to extend.

An ongoing project by Zeeland Seaports called ‘Hidden Connections’ seeks to do just this by developing a market for so called Multi Utility Providing (MUP) in the GhentTerneuzen Canal region.

A. cluster north

MUP focuses on the use and reuse of residual flows of commodities such as carbon dioxide, gas, heat, biodiesel, electricity and (hot) water to other users along the canal.

D. cluster north.

The development of a market for trading in such flows can be achieved only if there is sufficient infrastructure – both physical and organisational – to link the various users with each other. This is called a ‘smart link’.

Infrastructure The MUPs consist of the infrastructure provider – managing the pipeline corridor and administering the various utility providers – and the utility providers themselves. Pipeline corridors can take three forms during construction: those laid at a certain depth below ground which do not need to be directly accessible for maintenance and other work; those laid at depth in a casing, making them readily accessible for maintenance; and those laid in a casing just below the surface, so they are permanently

Four industrial clusters have been identified with border-crossing connections:

B. cluster west C. cluster east

Advantages The simultaneous construction of several pipelines creates advantages of scale, so investments are more likely to result in a viable business case and supply and demand for several products are brought together. It is often harder to get separate initiatives off the ground.

A pipeline infrastructure is a supplementary and sustainable mode of transport, alongside transport by road, water or rail. The network of companies linked to the infrastructure provides new opportunities for unregulated networks. A pipeline infrastructure can contribute to improved energy efficiency and lower carbon dioxide emissions.

ithin the next decade, Zeeland Seaports finally hopes to realise its vision of opening a dedicated container terminal in its Vlissingen harbour. It has been a long process, but hopes are high that its customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; demands will be answered in the near future. In the short term, there are high hopes that a container facility will be realised inside the port area with a size of around 500,000 to 1,000,000 teu and capable of receiving vessels up to VLCS class. With this terminal Zeeland Seaports will take its first steps in the container shipments market.

Port of call The potential of Vlissingen as a port of call for the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest containerships is still not in doubt. In addition the plan for the Westerschelde Container Terminal (WCT), right outside the port area of Vlissingen is still active but considering the current market has been put on the backburner. The WCT will have a capacity of 2 million teu per year and will be able to receive five ULCS sized vessels at a time.

With its excellent hinterland links and easy access to the North Sea, Vlissingen is the best location for a new terminal in the ARA region. The growing number of companies based in Terneuzen and, more importantly Vlissingen, still underline the urgent need for the port to be able to handle containerised imports and exports. There are various locations inside the port area that are ideal for locating a dedicated container terminal. The best potential is the Verbrugge Zeeland Terminal at the Quarleshaven, but the Scaldiahaven also still has room available for a container terminal. Zeeland Seaports believes there is serious interest in WCT and this situation gets more urgent as even larger vessels are built with a decreasing number of ports in north-west Europe able to receive them. Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current terminal capacity is unlikely to be sufficient to handle potential demand. This offers an outstanding opportunity for planned container terminals to be developed in Vlissingen.

Offshore

Ideal base for wind farm projects

eeland Seaports is ideally located to serve companies involved in the construction of North Sea wind farms. More and more operators in this growing sector have come to appreciate the expertise and services offered by several companies in the port area. These projects require large areas of storage and involve the transportation of huge volumes of materials by sea and land. Zeeland Seaports has proved itself a perfect base for such operations. With open deepsea access, a depth of 16.5 metres, negligible tidal restrictions and no bridges and locks, Vlissingen, in particular, is ideally placed for wind farm support and construction services. The region also contains many specialist companies providing key links in the transport chain. Successful projects have already been carried out from the port, with further

operations in progress or planned for the future. In addition to wind energy, the same facilities can often be used in support of gas and oil production.

Dedicated container terminal plan is closer to reality

ithin the next decade Zeeland Seaports hopes to finally realise its vision of opening a dedicated container terminal at its Vlissingen harbour. It has been a long drawn out process with several setbacks and obstacles, but hopes are high that the demands of its customers will be answered in the near future. The potential of Vlissingen as a port of call for the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest containerships is not in doubt. According to research, it is the best location in the ARA region for a new terminal.

Potential With its excellent hinterland links and ready access to the North Sea, Zeeland Seaports has a lot of potential for a major new container port. Good nautical access allows the port to deal with the constant increases in scale of the container industry.

European and Asian container terminal operators see the Rhine-Schelde basin as the most important centre for the further development of large-scale container activities, with the proposed Westerschelde Container Terminal (WCT) at Vlissingen being the favourite for many. Companies based in the region have shown a lot of interest in the idea of having access to a container terminal in the Schelde estuary. Many containerships are already passing by,

without calling Vlissingen, to reach Antwerp, so it is already on the route of most lines. However, the growing number of companies based in Terneuzen and, more importantly, Vlissingen has underlined the urgent need for a dedicated container facility in the port to handle containerised imports and exports. Although there are no dedicated container handling terminals yet, there are existing terminals that handle containers in relatively smaller numbers. WCT is by no means the only new container terminal being mooted at Vlissingen.

Equipped For example, the planned Verbrugge Container Terminal (VCT) is to be built on a 125-hectare site just a short distance from the entrance to Vlissingen. Currently used for forest products and metals, this terminal will have a 1,715 metre quay on the Quarleshaven for containerships of up to 16.5 metres draught, plus the 375 metre Bijleveldhaven quay for ships of up to 10.5 metres draught.

Vision Zeeland Seaports believes there is serious interest in WCT following discussions with various container terminal operators. The situation is becoming more urgent with each passing year as ever larger vessels are built, while a decreasing number of ports in northwest Europe are able to receive them. Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current terminal capacity is unlikely to be sufficient to handle potential demand. This provides an outstanding opportunity for Vlissingen to develop its planned container terminals.

Offshore

Ideal location for offshore support

eeland Seaports is ideally located to serve the growing business of wind farm construction in the North Sea. These projects involve the transportation of huge volumes of materials by sea and land; and the ports of Zeeland have proved a perfect base for such operations. Various successful projects have already been carried out from Vlissingen, with further operations in progress or planned for the future. In addition to wind energy, the same facilities can often be used for gas and oil production activities. The main advantage of Vlissingen is its location close to the North Sea and within easy reach of Belgium, northern France, the United Kingdom and even Germany and Denmark. With a series of major wind parks being developed off the Dutch, British, German, Scandinavian and Belgian coasts, the Zeeland ports are ideally placed to take advantage by offering first-rate logistics and transport services as well as an abundance of open areas for start-up operations. Vessels calling Vlissingen to load or discharge large structures or parts can benefit from straightforward navigation to deepwater quays, unhindered by locks or bridges. Many components for wind generator parts are made in the local area and these manufacturers often look to the ports for temporary storage of monopiles, transition pieces and other large items. Companies such as BOW Terminals and Verbrugge Terminals offer the space and facilities

needed for efficient transport, and have developed specialised services to deal with this type of cargo. The region also contains many companies specialising in areas such as large-scale steel construction, heavy transport and towage, all of which play a key part in the transport chain. Zeeland Seaports is no mere onlooker where wind parks are concerned; it takes an active role in encouraging growth within its own boundaries as well as developing a plan for an offshore wind park along the coast. Together with five other parties from Zeeland, the port company has developed the Zeeland Offshore Wind Project. Zeeland Seaports is collaborating on the project with Delta NV, Heerema, Verbrugge Terminals, Zeeuwind and the Zeeland Environment Federation (ZMF).

Verbrugge Verbrugge Terminals has storage areas for wind farm parts both at Zeeland Terminal and Scaldia Terminal. It has also formed a strategic partnership with the crane rental and heavy lift specialist Sarens to develop onshore logistics for offshore wind farm projects. Since 2009 the company has handled five major projects involving foundations for wind turbines. These comprise 60 metre pipes of six metres diameter weighing 700 tonnes each. On top of the pipe, a yellow transition piece is mounted, which protrudes above the surface of the sea. In total, the company has 170 hectares of storage alongside 2.6 km of quay with a draught of 14.5 metres. The seabed

In 2013, BOW Terminal began the task of handling wind turbine piles destined for the DanTysk Wind Farm on the German-Danish border. DanTysk is a joint venture between Vattenfall and Stadtwerke München (SVM). This large 288 MW wind farm will have 80 wind turbines when the project is completed in 2014.

Expertise

Its 14 hectare facility is located alongside a 360 metre quay. A further seven hectares is available on option. The site was developed specially for offshore activities, including office facilities for customers’ representatives.

More and more wind farm operators have come to value the level of expertise and range of services offered by Zeeland’s seaports and are using them as a base for storage and transport of components.

Services include both open and covered facilities for storage and transhipment of parts for various projects. There is a 1,200 tonne crane and a logistics team is available round the clock.

Vlissingen is ideally placed for wind farm support and construction because the port has open deepsea access, a depth of 16.5 metres and negligible tidal restrictions. Another advantage is the presence of high quality service companies in the region, adding value through their fast, accurate and efficient way of working.

Target Set up to market Vlissingenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cruise sector, the Zeeland Cruise Port organisation has attracted several cruise lines to the port. In 2012 three cruise ships called Vlissingen and the target figure of 15 calls a year looks likely to be achieved sooner than expected. There are plans to develop a cruise terminal in Vlissingen to accommodate visiting ships more effectively. Until a dedicated terminal is built, cruise ships will continue to use

existing commercial berths in VlissingenOost, where temporary structures have been established in the Scaldiahaven. The chosen site for the new cruise terminal is the Finsa quay in the Buitenhaven. Conveniently located next to the main railway station, this harbour also has unobstructed access to major roads, allowing coach tours to come and go with relative ease. In addition to the immediate benefits of a cruise call, each of which generates an estimated EUR 300,000 to EUR 350,000 for the economy, there is an added value element in cruise conversion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is, attracting passengers back to the area for a longer visit.

There are tentative plans to develop a cruise terminal in Vlissingen to accommodate visiting cruise ships more effectively. Tourism is a key business in Zeeland and the cruise sector is a growing part of that.

Tranquil Vlissingen, along with the wider Zeeland region, is a popular tourism area. The population is effectively doubled in the summer months as visitors flock to the area to enjoy the tranquil surroundings of the delta region, with its many beaches and scenic estuaries. For the town of Vlissingen, the development of a cruise industry brings two key benefits. First and foremost, the impact of each stopover is good for business, with each cruise call generating an estimated EUR 300,000 to EUR 350,000 for the economy. The added value element lies in cruise conversion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is, attracting cruise passengers back to the area for a longer visit.

HANDBOOK PLUS

Cruise

Vlissingen is no stranger to handling passenger traffic, having accommodated the cruise ferry operator Olau Line for many years; so the port is well aware of the benefits that passengers and crew can bring to the local economy. Vlissingen also knows its facilities must be first-rate in order to attract regular cruise calls.

Promoting Vlissingen began to develop its cruise potential in 2006 and interest has grown year on year to the point where, today, all the relevant organisations are confident they have a great package to offer the cruise operators. Zeeland Cruise Port, the organisation set up to market Vlissingen’s cruise sector, was successful in attracting cruise lines and the port began to feature on cruise itineraries. In 2012 three cruise ships called Vlissingen, although the target figure of 15 each year may be reality in the near future. The Zeeland Cruise Port concept has been developed in particular by the S.T.T. Group of Companies, which plays a key role in the cruise sector, providing all husbandry services for visiting ships as well as taking care of passenger handling and security. Zeeland is an especially popular destination for German tourists and, fittingly, Phoenix Reisen’s ‘Amadea’ was the first cruise ship to call Vlissingen. Other lines have followed, including Holland America Line, part of the Carnival Corporation, the world’s biggest cruise ship company. Until a dedicated terminal is built, cruise ships will continue to use existing commercial berths in Vlissingen-Oost, where temporary structures have been established in the Scaldiahaven. Passengers are welcomed ashore by dancers in traditional

costume, with stalls inside the quayside tent selling cheese, clogs and other souvenirs. A fleet of buses is on hand to take passengers into Vlissingen and local tour operators offer a choice of city tours and excursions in the local region. A key advantage of Vlissingen is that vessels can depart as late as 23.00 hours, giving passengers more time ashore and the opportunity to enjoy an evening meal or some late entertainment before rejoining their ship.

Hospitable An often-heard comment is that Vlissingen is ‘the most hospitable call’ on the cruise thanks in no small part to the warmth and enthusiasm of the local hospitality industry and the maritime sector. The chosen site for the new cruise terminal is the Finsa quay in the Buitenhaven (Outer Harbour). Conveniently located next to the main railway station, this harbour also has unobstructed access to major roads, allowing coach tours to come and go with relative ease. It is only a short distance from the centre of Vlissingen town – another advantage. The cruise terminal project would open the way to a rejuvenation and rehabilitation of this area as a chic part of the town. There is a strong desire to get the project off the ground sooner rather than later. Once the terminal is open, Zeeland Cruise Port is confident it will begin to attract regular calls from other major lines to achieve its target of 15 calls a year.

Regions

A region of contrasts and opportunity

eeland is an attractive and dynamic region of the Netherlands with a diverse range of contrasting landscapes and industries. The province is made up of islands and a coastal strip bordering Belgium and is intersected by the Oosterschelde and the Westerschelde (the Eastern Schelde and Western Schelde rivers). About one-third of the province is water – a dynamic that has defined the nature of activities and commerce throughout the region. The provincial government, Provincie Zeeland, is located in the regional capital, Middelburg. One of its main aims is to promote innovation and sustainable development of its key strengths, which include the biobased economy and aquaculture. The biobased economy is embedded in the DNA of the region, and Zeeland has an ambition to be one of the leading biobased regions in Europe.

Recognising the important role that the physical composition of the Delta region plays in the activities of the biobased economy and aquaculture sector, the Province of Zeeland has coined the slogan ‘Land in Zee!’, or ‘Land in Sea!’. There are many coastal provinces in the Netherlands, but only one that is IN the sea.

Borsele While the municipality of Borsele is situated largely in the magnificent national conservation area of the Zak van ZuidBeveland, it is also home to a diverse industrial and business community that includes a large part of the Vlissingen Oost port complex, in which the Gemeente is a 16.67 per cent shareholder. The municipality is run by Gemeente Borsele, which operates out of the picturesque village of Heinkenszand. Borsele comprises 15 villages providing a home

Vlissingen Vlissingen, the second-largest town in the Zeeland region, is home to some 45,000 inhabitants. Maritime activities are central to its daily life owing to its strategic location at the mouth of the Westerschelde. The municipal authority, Gemeente Vlissingen, is working hard to secure a prosperous future for the town. Various projects are under way or being planned to maintain the status of Vlissingen as a great place to live, work and relax.

eeland is the most westerly of 12 provinces in the Netherlands. The province consists of islands and a coastal strip bordering Belgium. It is intersected by the Oosterschelde and the Westerschelde (the rivers Eastern Schelde and the Western Schelde). About one-third of the province is water. The name Zeeland means â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sea and landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and this dynamic has defined the nature of activities and commerce throughout the region, including the biobased economy, aquaculture and fisheries.

The provincial capital is Middelburg, a beautiful Abbey town dating from the eighth century. Provincie Zeeland, the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincial government, is located in Middelburg.

Driving force The Province of Zeeland aims to be a driving force for the development of Zeeland. Its main focus is on innovation and sustainable development of key strengths such as the biobased economy and aquaculture. In parallel, there is a focus on creating attractive residential amenities to produce an attractive environment for living and working. The biobased economy is embedded in the DNA of the region. Its ambition is to grow, together with the neighbouring region of West Brabant, into one of the leading biobased region in Europe. West Brabant and Zeeland already work together under the name of Biobased Delta.

Province Zeeland

This arrangement is open to other regions, too, and cooperation schemes with Flanders and Zuid-Holland are gaining momentum.

Land in Sea! Recognising how important the physical composition of the Delta region is for the biobased economy and aquaculture sector, the Province of Zeeland has coined the slogan ‘Land in Zee!’ (‘Land in Sea!’). There are many coastal provinces in the Netherlands, but only one that is IN the sea. Zeeland, by its very nature, brings important benefits and competencies to these industries, which not only have modern expertise, but are also steeped in traditional methods and lifestyles. Because of this, the Delta region has a very strong advantage in many fields, especially those concerning marine and submarine activities. It is the biobased economy, however, that is the main focus of development for the Province of Zeeland. Zeeland Seaports has a crucial role to play here, with Biopark Terneuzen being one of its main developments in recent years. Given the amount of water in the province, Zeeland is an important location for fishery activities. Its mussels and oysters are famous abroad, and efforts are also being concentrated now on such activities as the cultivation of fish, samphire and sea lavender, to further broaden the scope of the industry. Other main sectors include seaweed growing; algae cultivation for food supplements and vitamins; and research into using algae for cleaning industrial waste water. One specific project to use water rather than land is the growing of more food in the sea. Seaweed farms are being

established with the seaweed grown on rafters hanging in the water. The agrofood sector is strong in Zeeland. Innovations such as plant cross-breeding and artificial fertilisers have opened the way to improved productivity. This has led to the cultivation of crops such as potatoes, onions, beet and fruit and the processing of crops into food and animal feed. The use of residual materials also creates opportunities for other uses such as feedstocks for chemical products.

Innovators In addition to big multinationals, the chemical sector includes many small and medium enterprises (SMEs), all playing a role as innovators, and there is a lot of interest among existing companies in shifting the emphasis to biobased materials. However, the biobased economy will succeed only when it becomes more economically attractive. To make this happen, the Province of Zeeland is promoting a culture of innovation within SMEs. It recognises that SMEs often have greater innovative power than the larger corporations, although the latter may benefit equally from the innovation further downstream. Thereby, the province stimulates co-operation between large companies and SMEs.

Several industrial estates accommodate large international companies such as Dow Chemical, Yara and Cargill, as well as small specialised businesses. Employment prospects are good in the various sectors, ranging from services to hospitality, from health care to education, from construction to retail.

The municipality, Gemeente Terneuzen, is responsible for allocating and selling land to new start-up operations. It has many suitable locations, giving entrepreneurs plenty of choice. Much of the development space is former agricultural land that has been reassigned to industry.

Terneuzen region

Any new business venture can be assured of a helping hand from one of the municipal business contacts at Gemeente Terneuzen. The region is home to a surprisingly diverse range of companies in the business zone, and unemployment is low compared with much of the Netherlands.

Success One of the major success stories has been the Bio Base Europe Training Centre in Terneuzen, an education, network and exhibition centre promoting the development of a sustainable biobased economy. Gemeente Terneuzen is one of 25 parties involved in this project and, after a few teething troubles, it is operating well. Terneuzen is not just about work, however. There are ample opportunities for leisure and tourism in the local area. Popular activities include boat trips, golf, indoor skiing, shopping, gliding and canoeing. There is a network of cycling and walking routes, covering everything from big polder landscapes and traditional seaport towns to modern industrial areas. This is a pleasant area in which to live and work. There is virtually no congestion, so traffic runs smoothly at all times of day. House prices are among the lowest in the Netherlands. Terneuzen has several marinas and swimming pools and the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal provides a spectacular and everchanging backdrop, especially at Sluiskil and Sas van Gent, where the passing ships are almost close enough to touch. Various cultural events are held each year in a region rich in history and arts. The Jazz Festival, Folklore Festival, the Guild festivities, the harbour days and the mussel

festivities bring in visitors from far and wide to enjoy all that Terneuzen has to offer. The town also has 10 interesting museums. Future developments in the region include dualling of the main road between Ghent and Terneuzen, which will make it a lot easier to commute to and from Ghent, the largest city in the wider region. A new road tunnel under the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal is also under construction.

New lock Furthermore, a new bigger sealock will be constructed. This will allow larger vessels to transit the canal to Ghent and ultimately will bring more trade from the hinterland through the Terneuzen region. Transport networks are well established and the area is well connected to neighbouring population centres. The Belgian cities of Antwerp, Bruges and Ghent are just a short drive away, while the ZeelandFlanders region is easily accessible via the Westerschelde Tunnel.

Borsele region

Land of contrasts and opportunity

orsele is a land of contrasts. While the municipality is situated largely in the magnificent national conservation area of the Zak van Zuid-Beveland, it is also home to a diverse industrial and business community that includes a large part of the Vlissingen-Oost port complex. The municipality is run by Gemeente Borsele, which operates out of the picturesque village of Heinkenszand, surrounded by green fields and open space. In spite of its industrial residents, this is a very green-orientated municipality. Gemeente Borsele aims to meld the municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contrasts into a single whole, making quality of life in the small centres an important focus. Nearly every village has at least a community centre, a playground and a sports complex. Borsele, however, aims not only at quality of life but also at innovation. The municipality is working all the time on new projects and on economic development.

There are 15 villages in Borsele, accommodating some 22,500 inhabitants. The municipality covers about 19,000 hectares, of which 15,000 hectares is land and 4,000 hectares is the Westerschelde estuary. Heinkenszand and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-Gravenpolder are the two largest towns, each with about 5,000 inhabitants, while the smallest village is Ellewoutsdijk, with just over 400 residents. The municipality also includes the Westerschelde Tunnel, linking the region

with Terneuzen, which has opened up many new areas for commerce.

Opportunity Borsele is also a land of opportunity. It is already home to some 1,200 businesses, large and small, as well as to farmers working the land. It encompasses a large part of the Port of Vlissingen and the municipality is a 16.67 per cent shareholder in Zeeland Seaports. In addition, there are several business parks, ideal for start-ups, especially in the logistics and transport sectors. Agriculture, especially fruit growing and farming – for example, Borsele accounts for about 75 per cent of the total Netherlands production of blackcurrants – is important to the local economy. However, most of the local workforce is employed in other sectors such as manufacturing and the service industries. Borsele companies operate across a wide range of sectors, from the metal industry to the wholesale trade and from transport to the processing of agricultural produce. The retail sector is also well represented in Borsele.

countries. With its wide-open, scenic landscapes, the area is especially popular with cyclists and ramblers and there are special routes to cater for them. In addition, a steam train service, running on a preserved line between Goes and Hoedekenskerke, is one of the most popular tourists attractions in the region. Borsele has several museums, including the Tractor Museum, the Zeeland Liberation Museum and an old-time sweetshop called ’t Wienkeltje van Wullempje.

Container terminals of the future Further information: www.kochadviesgroep.nl or read the extended article in the HandbookPlus at www.landmarine.org/zeeland or via this QR code

ne of the most interesting transport-related innovations to come out of the Zeeland region is the New Generation Integrated Container Terminal (NGICT) concept developed by Koch Consulting Group.

Key features:

•

Stack capacity will be 30 to 50 per cent greater on the same surface area. The stacking area starts right under the ship- to-shore cranes.

• Ability to work on a ship in adjacent bays at the same time

• Much more compact terminal for an equivalent teu capacity.

• Containers are transported parallel to the quay to a programmed stacking lane, directly underneath the stacking crane.

• Significantly lighter cranes with own foundations that need less physical infrastructure.

• Inherent redundancy is built into the terminal so breakdowns no longer hinder efficient operation.

• Much higher productivity than traditional terminals.

In the NGICT not a single metre goes unused. It is fully automated, with the highest safety levels and maximum stack density.

Verbrugge

Logistics services provider invests in the future

erbrugge Terminals BV is a key component in the ports of Vlissingen and Terneuzen and one of the most important operators in the region. Each year, it handles over 15 million tonnes at its three terminals – more than a third of the total throughput of the Zeeland ports. Since 2007 the company has invested over EUR 165 million in improved suprastructure. Verbrugge Terminals was an early pioneer of the integrated logistics services concept and has grown into a modern logistics company looking after the whole supply chain, from plant to customer.

As the region’s leading forest products operator, it focuses on bulk products, paper, woodpulp and timber. In addition, however, it handles steel and metals, cars and ro-ro traffic. Its terminals embrace nearly 1 million square metres of coverage storage facilities.

• Verbrugge Zeeland Terminals handles woodpulp and paper imported from North America, Scandinavia and South East Asia.

Expansion In 2011 the company invested EUR 40 million in seven new warehouses for paper and metal in Vlissingen. In 2012 it invested EUR 45 million in an expansion of bulk storage areas in Terneuzen, with three new warehouses and three tanks for liquid bulk storage. The Verbrugge group has a wide range of subsidiary companies providing services that include chartering, port agency, stevedoring, warehousing, forwarding, trucking and barging.

• Verbrugge Terneuzen handles mainly imports from Europe and Canada. • Verbrugge Scaldia Terminals handles deepsea cargo, mainly woodpulp from Brazil, Chile and Uruguay.

Koch Group

Innovative new concept for container terminals of the future

eeland has a long history as a breeding ground for innovative ideas, but perhaps the most revolutionary one has come from a small engineering and architectural consulting company, Koch Consulting Group. Sidestepping conventional ideas about container terminal design, the company has developed a new concept that could change the way such terminals are built in the future. The New Generation Integrated Container Terminals (NGICT) concept uses less space, needs less construction and offers greater efficiency at a lower cost. The use of container terminals has boomed since the 1960s, but there are still only two

Further information: www.blurb.com or read extended article in the HandbookPlus at www.issuu.com/ or via the QR code

basic concepts: conventional terminals, where equipment is manually operated, and automated terminals, where stacking and transport are controlled by automatic systems.

New approach While many terminals under construction today are models of state-of-the-art automation, safety and sustainability, there is a worldwide recognition that further increases in the size of containerships will demand a new approach to container terminals. This is because factors such as the outreach of cranes and the maximum load on quays are nearing their natural limits.

HANDBOOK PLUS

The Koch Consultancy Group has developed plans for the first integrated terminal. It has been granted three patents, which brings this third generation of container terminals one step closer. An application for four more patents is in progress.

Key features The key features of NGICT, and the way it differs from current technology, can be summarised as follows. Currently, quay cranes weigh up to 2,500 tonnes each and exert a huge load on the quay. Because of the need for deeper harbours, ever more expensive quays need to be constructed. The lighter crane modules in the NGICT concept have their own foundation and do not exert a load on the quay at all. They weigh about 200 tonnes each and move on a fixed support structure parallel to the quay. It is also possible to work on a ship in adjacent bays at the same time because the crane modules are narrower, yielding a much higher discharging and loading rate and thus reducing the amount of time the ship has to spend in port. Currently, each container has to be lowered to quay level and transported at that level. The fixed support structure in the NGICT can be provided with a raised transport floor to reduce the distance that containers have to be moved vertically. The containers are placed by the shipto-shore crane modules on special lightweight T-D-AGVs (two-directional automated guided vehicles), which transport them parallel to the quay, until the programmed stacking lane is reached, and then, perpendicular to the quay underneath the reach of the stacking cranes. The NGICT concept produces a much more compact terminal for an equivalent teu capacity. The 100-150 metre wide strips for vehicular access alongside the quay in conventional terminals can be dispensed

Koch Group

with. The stacking area actually starts right under the ship-to-shore cranes. In fact, in the NGICT not a single metre goes unused. It is fully automated, with the highest safety levels and maximum stack density. Several integrated stacking cranes (ISC) can be used in each stack lane and can pass one another in the same lane. Inherent redundancy is built into the terminal, so breakdowns no longer affect operational efficiency. In addition, existing conventional terminals can be renovated and reconstructed in line with this new concept. Partially offshore and completely offshore variants are also possible using floating platforms and pile-supported bridges – ideal for environmentally sensitive areas that preclude reclamation works.

Investment While the overall investment required is lower with the new integrated terminal concept, the distribution of costs is markedly different. Considerable savings are made on building the physical infrastructure, but more investment is needed in fixed structures at the terminal. However, stack capacity will be 30 to 50 per cent greater on the same surface area and so productivity will be higher. Operating costs – especially energy consumption – per teu will also be appreciably lower in the NGICT terminal.

Further information: www.kochadviesgroep.nl

The next stage for the Koch Consulting Group is to find a partner who is prepared, as licensee or sub-licensee, to work with the company to engineer, produce and market the concept. Cooperation with a consortium might be even more appropriate here, since the overall concept embraces a civil engineering component, fixed support structures, crane construction, technical installations and automation.

Pacorini

Solid growth for Pacorini Metals

acorini Metals has been a real success story for Zeeland Seaports. The company has expanded its operations year on year since it began in 2000 and has recently extended its facility and acquired new offices.

Metals are traded mainly on the London Metal Exchange (LME) and despite a decline in demand for non-ferro, its production continues. These metals still need to be stored, however, and that is where Pacorini comes in.

On a global scale, Pacorini Metals is a leading player in the storage and transhipment of non-ferrous metals. In addition to this principal activity, the company handles other commodities such as plastics, ferrous metals, ferro alloys and perishable commodities.

The non-ferro products stored at Pacoriniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warehouses originate from all over the world i.e. Russia, Canada, South America, China and the Middle East.

Non-ferro Pacorini Metals BV is part of the Pacorini Metals Group in Switzerland. In 2010 the Pacorini Metals Group was sold to the Glencore Group, one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest traders in non-ferro. The group now consists of more than 40 companies worldwide.

From storage, they are distributed across Europe. Both the Vlissingen and Rotterdam facilities of Pacorini have been accredited by the LME and are certified warehouses.

On a global scale, Pacorini Metals is a leading player in the storage and transhipment of non-ferrous metals. In addition to this principal activity, the company handles other commodities such as plastics, ferrous metals, ferro alloys and perishable commodities.

Specialist Terminal operations are handled by Pacorini Metals Terminals BV. (Formerly Arrow Terminals, established in 1995, it was acquired by Pacorini in 2011.) The two companies are based at the former port authority offices in Engelandweg, VlissingenOost, acquired in 2012 to meet the expanding needs of the business. The main activity of Pacorini Metals Terminals BV is the warehousing of Ferro Alloys. It has dedicated warehouses for these products and provides all the relevant shipping and receiving services as well as value-added services such as crushing, screening and sieving of ferro alloys, repacking, redrumming, cleaning and

bulk deliveries. It also deals with customs processing and packaging. Covering six hectares of fully developed land, Pacorini Metals Terminals is located in Vlissingenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kaloothaven. There are five dedicated warehouses for bulk ferro alloys, with a total area of 45,000 square metres and a combined storage capacity of approximately 180,000 tonnes. In addition, there is 2,000 square metres of storage for packed goods. The company also has two processing plants for custom-sizing of ferro alloys. These are capable of crushing a maximum top-sized product of 400 mm down to 25 mm, as well as being able to screen to a range of sizes, from 1 mm to 150 mm.

Excavator The terminalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary berth can accommodate vessels up to 170 metres in length with a draught of 9.0 metres LLWS. There is also a second berth for vessels up to 150 metres in length with a maximum draught of 7.5 metres.

Serving the transformer industry

uro-MIT Staal B.V. (EMS) was established in Vlissingen in 1992 as a service centre specialised in slitting the higher grades of electrical steel for the transformer industry. In this process, wide coils of thin gauge plate material are sized down to narrower, smaller sized coils. Over the years EMS has built up its position as a reliable and skilled slitting service centre. It has also found additional opportunities to slit a diverse range of other thin gauge products such as coated/ laminated steel, tinplate and stainless steel.

Partner Further information: www.euro-mit-staal.com or read the extended article in the HandbookPlus at www.landmarine.org/zeeland or via this QR code

The ongoing mission of EMS is to be a value adding partner for the transformer industry. At the beginning of 2011 the company decided to install a TBA transformer lamination cut-to-length line, which cuts the narrow width coils into laminations, or sheets, of customer specific lengths and shapes. An additional 11,800 square metres of land was required for this expansion, bringing the

companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total land area to 29,300 square metres. The building size has more than doubled from 5,800 square metres to 11,800 square metres of floor area for offices, production halls and storage facilities. The company also took the opportunity to increase its coil slitting capacity by installing a third main slitting line. The installation of this TBA line means that transformer builders will no longer need to cut down the coils into laminations themselves (or have it done by an external party). Instead, the core building can start as soon as the goods have arrived at their premises. That is the extra service that EMS is providing from now on.

Euro-Mit Staal

Major expansion for Euro-Mit Staal brings added value for transformer industry in Europe

lissingen-based Euro-Mit Staal B.V. (EMS) has been operating since 1992 as a specialised service centre for splitting higher grades of electrical steel for the transformer industry. Over the years, the company has built a reputation for reliability and quality. In 2011 it embarked on an expansion programme to double the size of its facility, allowing it to expand its services and handle increased volumes. The foundation stone for the new development was laid in December 2011 and just nine months later the new facility was opened, in October 2012.

Expansion The expansion involved 11,800 square metres of extra land, totalling 29,300 square metres in all. The building has more than doubled from 5,800 square metres to 11,800 square metres of floor area for offices, production halls and storage facilities.

Funding for the expansion was supplied by the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two major shareholders, underlining their confidence in the future of EMS.

HANDBOOK PLUS

Installation and testing of the machines was begun in November 2012. Formerly, the company operated two main slitting lines and one narrow-width slitter. The expansion has allowed EMS to install a TBA transformer cut-to-length line and an extra slitting line. There is a greater capacity for slitting thin gauge electrical steel; the company is now able to increase their capacity to slit more different types of thin gauge material such as tin plate on coil. The expansion has also led to additional employment at the plant. Twelve new jobs have been created, bringing the total workforce to 65.

service, EMS expects not only to increase its turnover by cutting transformer steel, into laminations, but also to increase the opportunities to supply electrical steel to other transformer builders

Link For almost two decades, Euro-Mit Staal B.V. in Vlissingen-Oost has been an important link in the European transformer production chain. Coils of electrical steel are shipped to Vlissingen by the Japanese trading company Mitsui & Co. These are unloaded at EMSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shareholder facility, Verbrugge Zeeland Terminals.

Objective Further information: www.euro-mit-staal.com

The aim of the expansion was to add value to its processes and to increase the produced tonnage. For the transformer industry, thin gauge material is slit down to size, both widthways and lengthways, into coils. Since the expansion the company has been able to cut these into laminations, or sheets, of customer-specific lengths and shapes. Therefore, its customers will no longer need to cut down the coils into laminations themselves. They can start stacking cores immediately upon receiving these laminations from EMS in the required sizes for the transformers.

Research study After an in-depth market research study, EMS found that many customers who contract out this cutting down to size, or do it themselves, would be greatly helped if this were done for them. By offering this extra

End products are distributed throughout Europe, mainly by road. Now that the expansion has been completed, the company expects to be able to process steel from other sources. EMS also obtained ISO 14001 environmental certification in 2012. The combination of slitting and cutting activities under one roof has not only proved economically favourable for all parties involved, but also more environmentally friendly.

Multi-service skills lead to success

.T.T. Group of Companies is a multiservice organisation that began as a shipping agency in Zeeland Seaports and later grew into an all-round service provider for shipowners, charterers and other shipping industry players. S.T.T. stands for Shipping, Trading & Transport, and it is the combination of ventures across these sectors that has brought success to the company. By always looking for new related opportunities and providing innovative solutions, S.T.T. has become a market leader in the sectors where it operates and a major player in the Zeeland ports sector. The main focus of its business is cargo ships. Its agency department handles over 800 ships a year in various Dutch ports, covering a wide range of vessel types, from tankers and bulk carriers to containerships

and dry cargo tonnage, which S.T.T. attends as a chartererâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative. The company is also a provider of logistics services with experience in brokerage, chartering, forwarding and liner agency. Its main office is in Vlissingen Oost, but it also has offices in Rotterdam and Terneuzen.

STT

As in other parts of the group, ZMCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S activities began in a small way, dealing with ship slops, and expanded as opportunities grew and it gained more experience. Applying its maritime knowledge to industrial cleaning, ZMC then expanded into large-scale land cleaning projects.

Complex project Its first such project was the removal and cleaning of contaminated soil in Jersey in the Channel Islands following the decommissioning of a gas plant. This complex project involved transporting the soil by sealed truck to the quayside for onshipment by sea to a partner company in Moerdijk that cleans the soil using a special method. In part, S.T.T. has found success by aligning itself with expert partners and the Moerdijk plant is no exception. As the largest soil recyling plant of its kind in the world, it has been developed over two decades to provide some specialised services to industry. The soil is cleaned of various impurities including chalk, chemicals and oils. The inorganic end-product can be used for building roads and dykes. The latest project tackled by ZMC concerned the removal of 300,000 tonnes of spoil from a former chemical park in Sicily using a fleet of sealed trucks and chartered vessels. As well as the physical handling of the soil, ZMC takes care of the various permits and licences required to transport this contaminated soil across Europe to Moerdijk. Its principal partner is the shipowner Vertom, which has its own fleet of 87 vessels. Each vessel can carry 7,500 tonnes at a time, making this one of the largest and most complex projects ever handled by ZMC.

Other projects have been handled in Israel, the Philippines and Switzerland.

One-stop shop S.T.T.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aim is to provide centralised access to a range of maritime services. By offering agency, freight forwarding, chartering and environmental services, all under one roof, S.T.T. is able to provide its clients with a complete service from one coordination centre. The enterprising outlook of S.T.T. is also bringing in new business. The company is entering new sectors as it seeks to use its expertise in an ever-growing range of projects. For example, having got involved with the export of construction materials to Nigeria for a Shell village project, S.T.T. also has responsibility for the construction of the village as well. This ability to provide a complete service from start to finish is what drives the company forward, year by year.

HANDBOOK PLUS

Ovet

The OVET terminals are also close to the North Sea, making them ideal for shortsea traffic. For rail traffic, both terminals are linked to the European rail network including the Betuwe Route and Corridor C. OVET and Zeeland Seaports plan to invest about â&#x201A;Ź3.5 million in a new coal train loading station in 2013. The current rail connection will be upgraded in order to receive trains efficiently. With this investment, OVET is focusing on an expansion of its services towards Germany, the largest coal importing country in Europe. This investment will be completed in the first half of 2013. By reinforcing its position in the bulk market, OVET is preparing itself for the expected growth in demand for coal, especially from steel-makers.

Capacity OVET can achieve a total unloading capacity of 80,000 tons per day using its four floating cranes. These can be towed to wherever they are needed within the region and can be moved between Vlissingen and Terneuzen in just three to four hours. Almost all the equipment at the dry bulk terminal is mobile. Each year, OVET lightens more than 100 vessels destined for final discharge

ports further into the hinterland such as Terneuzen, Ghent and Antwerp. The company can lighten loads by up to 20,000 tonnes in oneÂ tide. Thanks to the strategic location of its terminals and its first-rate hinterland connections by sea, rail, barge and truck, OVET is able to handle dry bulk products for end-users in northern, western and central Europe.

Quality OVET provides services for customers across Europe, especially in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Scandinavia, Italy, the UK and Poland. The company strives to achieve a high level of quality across its whole range of services and carries ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and GMP certification.

Maritime Institute

Key resource for maritime training

egarded as one of the leading maritime academies in north-west Europe, the De Ruyter Maritime Institute in Vlissingen is a key resource for specialist training and education.

Further information: www.deruyter-mi.nl

De Ruyter combines practical courses with simulated training environments for the maritime, fishing and logistics industries. As well as providing full-time higher education of younger people, it retrains unemployed people and offers its facilities to companies for specialised training. The institute is part of ROC Zeeland, one of several regional centres of education introduced by the government in the late 1990s to bring a variety of training and educational disciplines under one roof.

Simulator Although the institute was established over 100 years ago, it is forward-looking and progressive. In October 2010 a new engine room simulator was introduced at Technum, an ROC technology innovation centre in Vlissingen with modern multi-media learning facilities and high-tech classrooms and laboratories covering all aspects of engineering science.

Replicating the complete engine room of a merchant ship, the simulator is built around a WĂ¤rtsilĂ¤ 4R32 marine diesel engine and a 9L20 auxiliary generator. During simulation exercises, various incidents are triggered, designed to increase studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; knowledge of reading technical diagrams, start-up and maintenance procedures, detection and elimination of faults, and the correct way to maintain an engine logbook. Emergency events such as blackouts and machinery damage can also be handled safely in the simulator.

Truck driving On the logistics side, De Ruyter has been promoting its training programme for drivers of goods vehicles. The course covers practical activities such as loading and unloading of trucks, what to look for when others do this for you, how goods should be stacked, truck driving skills and road knowledge. It also deals with business practices and certificates of competence. The two-year programme is an apprenticeship training scheme in which the individual works for four days a week with an approved training company and one day a week in the classroom.

Vlissingse Bootliedenwacht

Key role for Vlissingen boatmen operator

oatmen services in the Port of Vlissingen are capably provided by Vlissingse Bootliedenwacht BV, which began in 1971 with its first vessel, ‘VB1’. In its early days, the company was also involved in stevedoring, taxi services and even office cleaning, but later it began to specialise in mooring and unmooring of vessels and offshore pontoons, plus other services to the shipping industry. Recently, Vlissingse Bootliedenwacht became a certified learning company for transport and logistics. The company’s modern fleet consists of a transport vessel (‘VLB-1’), five motor launches (‘VLB-2’, ‘VLB-3’, ‘VLB-7’, ‘VLB8’ and ‘VLB-10’), one tender (‘VLB 6’), two barges (‘WB 101’ and ‘TB 104’) and a pontoon (‘TB-103’). These vessels are operated on a 24-hour basis. In addition, the company has several motor vans to provide fresh water and winching support to complement its marine services. ‘VLB-3’ is a 10 tonne bollard pull tug delivered in July 2013. In addition to mooring services, the company is involved in water taxi services, delivery of

fresh water, stores and technical materials, attaching fenders and oil booms, towage, pontoon and vessel rental, anchorage assistance, docking and undocking assistance, and the supply of towmasters and crews. It can also assist in oil cleaning operations and has oil recovery equipment available for hire. The company can deliver ship stores and other materials throughout the Vlissingen estuary, including food-related provisions and marine equipment ranging from small spare parts to complete 30-tonne rudders.

Improvements At its quay, the company operates its own fork-lift truck and crane. The ‘VLB-1’ carries a 10-tonne crane and is ADNR-approved for transport of hazardous cargoes. Vlissingse Bootliedenwacht BV is committed to a continuous improvement in safety, health and environmental standards The company is a member of the Dutch Boatmen’s Association (NBV) (www.dutchboatmen.com) and the European Boatmen’s Association (EBA) (www.ebanet.org).

Loodswezen

Loodswezen pilotage service introduces modern support vessels to boost reliability Built by the Dutch shipyard Barkmeijer Stroobos, the three new PSVs will replace the 56 metre long cutters built in the late 1970s. Significant progress in vessel design has been made over the past 30 years and the improved seakeeping qualities of the new PSVs will enhance working conditions on board. The vessels are also designed to operate in more severe conditions than those they replace.

n a major programme of investment, the Dutch pilotage service Loodswezen is bringing a wide range of new vessels into service with the aim of providing an even more reliable and effective service for vessels calling at Dutch ports, especially Terneuzen and Vlissingen. The investment consists of three pilot station vessels (PSVs), three fast pilot tenders and two steel-hulled pilot tenders. Further information: www.loodswezen.nl

100

Each of the new PSVs will act as a sea base for up to 18 pilots while they wait to board incoming vessels to Dutch and Belgian ports or to leave departing ships and await new assignments.

Optimum Two PSVs will be on station off the Dutch coast at any given time – one for ships entering Rotterdam and the other at Steenbank pilot station near the entrance to the Westerchelde river. The third will be held in reserve.

The first new vessel, the PSV ‘Polaris’, entered service in October 2012 when it was christened by Queen Beatrix in Rotterdam. The ‘Polaris’ will be followed by the ‘Pollux’ in September 2013 and the ‘Procyon’ in 2014.

Main machinery will consist of six diesel generator sets providing a total output of 5,200 kW, powering a pair of 1,700 kW electric propulsion motors. This will enable the PSVs to alter speed easily while running the diesel engines at their optimum performance.

Measuring 81.2 metres in length with a breadth of 13.3 metres, these 2,501 dwt vessels provide the pilots with a much more comfortable and efficient working platform.

A key advantage of the new pilot stations is that they are designed to interact with the Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) launches. This means that pilots

Loodswezen

can be transferred safely and comfortably in wave heights of up to 3.5 to 4.0 metres, whereas the existing vessels can encounter problems with waves higher than 2.0 metres. In addition to the pilot station vessels, Loodswezen has invested in three aluminium fast L-Class tenders to transport pilots from shore to the pilot station. The first vessel, ‘Lynx’, was delivered in December 2012, with the ‘Lyra’ and the ‘Lacerta’ to follow.

Ice-capable Two steel-hulled pilot tenders are also being commissioned to serve in the north of the Netherlands in ports such as Delfzijl and Den Helder. The ‘Hercules’ was launched at the end of 2012, with the ‘Hydra to follow’. The steel hulls will allow the pilots to operate in severe winter conditions when ice becomes a factor. Previously, Loodswezen used chartered vessels, but as these are now being decommissioned, it decided to invest in ice-capable vessels to increase its fleet capabilities. Loodswezen operates in four regions to provide pilots for ships arriving at all Dutch ports, although its responsibilities in the River Scheldt district are shared with its Belgian counterpart.

Qualified Antwerp and Ghent account for the majority of ships entering the Scheldt, so pilotage services are divided 72.5 per cent and 27.5 per cent between Belgian and Dutch pilots. Each pilot station can expect to handle about 30,000 movements per year. Loodswezen has a total of 160 Dutch pilots stationed at Vlissingen and Terneuzen including pilots who are qualified to navigate the GhentTerneuzen Canal.
