MV2 – Rotterdam Port Expansion
The MV2 – Rotterdam Port Expansion project consists of a 2.9 billion euro expansion, resulting in an extra 1000 ha terminal area to the Port of Rotterdam. In total a sea defence of 12 km is erected, 250 Mm3 sand is dredged and reclaimed, 10 km of quaywall (to -20 m) is built. This nearshore area is a particularly sensitive natural habitat (both marine and terrestrial life). For this reason design, planning and execution of the works was done with utmost care.
After a thorough preparation by the project team (2004-2006) the first phase was successfully tendered as a D&C contract. The Contractor will deliver the contract on time and within budget in May 2013. The second phase will be developed in the coming decade.
