New EUR 24 million quay and berths for Stena Line in Rotterdam

By | 2017 Newsletter week 50 | No Comments

Dutch construction and engineering company Ballast Nedam has replaced the existing quay and built two new berths at the Stena Line freight terminal in Europoort, Rotterdam. This was needed because of the intention to introduce larger ships, and because the quay was getting too old.
Initially only one berth would be replaced, but the booming North Sea business made Stena ask during the works Port of Rotterdam to invest in a second berth. Ballast Nedam was able to change the plans and realised successfully a new 2-berth terminal.

New ferry terminal is good news for Aarhus citizens

By | 2017 Newsletter week 43 | No Comments

The Aarhus City Council has voted in favour of a new ferry terminal.

The new ferry terminal is to be built on the eastern side of the harbour, and should be ready by 2020. Mols Linjen’s current ferry terminal at Pier 3 will then be transformed into urban areas.

The move will considerably reduce the number of cars passing through the city.

The plans will now be sent for consultation and a final approval is expected in spring 2018.
