Intermediaries (Rijnhaven - the redevelopment (11))
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Rijnhaven, Barge, Piping, Floating homes (Wikkelboats) (cut from B&T)
This heavy and rusty piping placed on a barge is used to pump water-sand slush into the Rijnhaven basin to eventually fill it in. In the BG, some floating holiday rentals, called Wikkelboats. One of them is used as a business meeting facility.
As I wrote earlier, Rijnhaven is being redeveloped. This harbour was created in 1895 to offer shelter for Rhine vessels ('rijnaken'), when during the winter, these vessels could not operate due to the freezing of the rivers.
After the creation of the harbour, the transit freight traffic to Rotterdam continued to increase, and the new Rijnhaven was made suitable for large sea-going vessels by deepening it. As planned, the Rijnhaven became an important port for the transhipment of bulk goods 'on stream' - the sea-going vessels were moored on buoys, separate from the quay, and their cargo was directly moved to Rhine ships. In de 70/80s of the last century, the Rijnhaven lost its transhipment function and was brought back to its old function. In 2015, the Rhine ship berths were moved to, among others, the Maashaven. Enabling the redevelopment of the old harbour.
It will be partly (30%) filled in (pure terraforming) to enable the realization of, amongst others, an office/apartment building strip with up to 200m high edifices called the 'Skyline Posthumalaan' with an adjacent park and city beach. And there will be the floating Rijnhavenpark, too. It will be partly (30%) filled up (pure terraforming) to enable the realization of, amongst others, an office/apartment building strip with up to 200m high edifices, called the 'Skyline Posthumalaan' with an adjacent park and city beach.
This is number 11 of Rijnhaven - the redevelopment and 351 of Rotterdam harbour and industry.
