Expansion of ship-to-ship berths

24 May 2022 / Rotterdam, Netherlands

Three new berths will be added to the port of Rotterdam this summer. There will be a new set of dolphins, and an existing set of dolphins will be drastically modified, making more transhipment space available…

…The dolphins contribute to safety and sustainability in the port, and there is more space for LNG. Three additional berths means that fewer vessels need to go offshore, with emission reduction and less fuel consumption as a result. These ship-to-ship operations involve many parties, such as tugs, pilots, agents, cranes and inland shipping…

…The new Dolphin Set 81 is planned near the Landtong Rozenburg in the Calandkanaal…

…The first vessels can berth at the new dolphins in the autumn of 2022… …Soon there will be 31 berths in the port…

…the first dolphins will be installed between now and a few weeks. The dolphins should be operational in the third quarter…
