UAV Surveys Help Port of Rotterdam to Expand

The port of Rotterdam, the largest container port in Europe, is currently expanding its quays and retaining walls to increase its container transshipment capacity. Focused on construction sustainability, and on minimizing the environmental impact, Van Oord is using Marlyn Cobalt survey drones to ensure design conformance and to increase the safety for those involved in the project.

Container volumes in Rotterdam are expected to continue to increase strongly in the coming years. In order to further strengthen its leading position as Europe's largest container port, the Port of Rotterdam Authority is investing in the further expansion of the Prinses Amaliahaven located on Maasvlakte II. Together with HOCHTIEF and Ballast Nedam, Van Oord has begun the construction of approximately 2,4 kilometer of quays and retaining walls that will significantly increase the container transshipment in Rotterdam.
