Imtech technology partner for container terminal at the second Dutch Maasvlakte
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Gouda - Royal Imtech N.V. (IM-AE, technical services provider in and outside
Europe) announces that APMT - AP Moller Terminal, part of the Maersk Group - has
selected Imtech as partner, together with the constructing companies Dura
Vermeer and GMB, to realise a high-tech container terminal at the second Dutch
Maasvlakte. The total contract value for the GMB/Dura/Imtech combination amounts
to approximately 100 million euro.
René van der Bruggen, CEO Imtech: 'The objective is not only that the new
terminal will operate almost unmanned, but that it will also be the safest
terminal in the world. Technology makes this possible and Imtech is fulfilling
an important role in this.'
High-tech container terminal
The second Maasvlakte is the expansion of the Port of Rotterdam, situated to the
west of the first Maastvlakte. This 2,000 hectare expansion makes the port
bigger by some 20 percent. There is already an APMT terminal on the first
Maasvlakte and a second container terminal on the second Maasvlakte is now being
added. This is to become the most modern and innovative of the dozens of Maersk
terminals worldwide. As the new terminal will operate almost unmanned, the
strictest safety requirements will be observed. The award of this contract to
GMB/Dura/Imtech came about following a long tender procedure with an extensive
pre-qualification process.
Technology partner
As technology partner, Imtech will provide the entire energy infrastructure,
which will be implemented sustainably. An important part of this is the use of
transformers to convert middle voltage to low voltage. This will provide amongst
other things all the cranes on the site with sustainable power. Imtech is also
responsible for the high-tech glass fibre network that is required for the
automatic control of the terminal as well as all camera systems that play an
important role in the state-of-the-art security. Imtech will also realise
innovative and sustainable LED lighting.
