Maasvlakte 2 Rotterdam, The Netherlands
With Maasvlakte 2, the ambition of the Port of Rotterdam Authority is to be a global leader in the field of sustainability. To achieve this ambition, the Port of Rotterdam Authority offers every opportunity to innovative technologies that lead to the sustainable and successful development of the new port and industrial area.
The Port Authority has a long tradition in applying advanced technologies and processes, of which there are ample examples in the current port, including the Euromax-terminal and the innovative communication system Portbase. For Maasvlakte 2, we have raised the bar even higher. We want the new port and industrial area to become the most sustainable and innovative port in the world. Not an unrealistic ambition for a port that has literally been recovered from the sea and where sustainability and innovation can be built into each component.
The Port Authority has set strict requirements in terms of sustainability for companies wishing to locate on Maasvlakte 2. The Port Authority makes clear agreements with the companies about air quality, noise and cleaner hinterland transport, but also about the efficient use (or reuse) of energy, each other's waste heat, waste materials and semi-manufactured products. Companies also recognise the need to tackle environmental problems and seek new forms of sustainable management. In addition, they see opportunities to increase their efficiency. As a result, Maasvlakte 2 is a showcase which demonstrates that sustainability and economic growth are perfectly compatible.
The container terminals on Maasvlakte 2 are the most modern and advanced terminals in the world. The terminals are fully electric, from the Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) to the quay cranes. The terminal of APM Terminals runs entirely on power generated by wind turbines. At Rotterdam World Gateway, buildings are equipped with thermal storage. The connection with the Betuwe Route has also been taken into consideration: the terminals are ready for the new division of the hinterland transport across the most sustainable transport modes. One of these transport modes is inland shipping, which is why the new terminals are the first with a quay specifically designed for inland vessels.
From Rotterdam, most containers are transported to their destination by truck. This puts considerable pressure on the motorways around Rotterdam and elsewhere. Furthermore, emissions from trucks reduce the air quality. The way transportation to the hinterland is divided between the various transport modes is called the modal split. Through a variety of projects, the Port Authority aims to increase the transport of containers by rail and inland shipping. This redirecting of transport from trucks to trains and inland vessels is called the modal shift. Companies that are allowed to locate on Maasvlakte 2 commit themselves to the imposed modal shift.
An 80-hectare site has been reserved on Maasvlakte 2 to accommodate biochemistry companies. Chemicals based on natural raw materials will be produced here in the future. At the bio-based cluster on Maasvlakte 2, companies can optimally benefit from each other's presence. Together with four partners, the Port Authority is realising Plug & Play facilities in the Bio-based Cluster. Thanks to this initiative, companies do not need to invest individually in the supply of energy, energy networks, tank storage and wastewater, process water and drinking water.
A cold afternoon in Schiller Park yard on the CP as the container crane zips around the yard unloading a train.

Caught my eye for SOME reason .I don't USUALLY photo SEMI trucks.....
Maybe it was the colour ???? Unit is probably headed for the SEATTLE DOCKS
See those containers stacked with the windows on the sides of them? Inside are fully decorated offices. There are lights, chairs, desks and wall units with file folders in them. You can see employees talking and working. I assume these are temporary and have something to do with the construction on Alte Schönhauser Straße. From the weblog: theberlinimage.blogspot.com/
Seattle's container port: Trucks roll up, the crane picks up the container and places it carefully on the ship. Big win for standardization of The Box
I felt a little bored staying at home all day, so I decided to take my camera and walkabout my island. Though it was dangerous it was quite relaxing and fun. The Rambler container port was once the largest container port in the world.
I'd never seen containers like these. They look to have running boards attached with chains to the sides.
A truck has dropped a container in the bike lane. Behind it is the rest of the truck's carriage. No truck though.
