Shell residual heat for 16,000 householdsThe Pernis Residual Heat Initiative is being delivered in Rotterdam’s
Katendrecht district. Shell, the Port of Rotterdam Authority and Warmte-
bedrijf Rotterdam are contributing to accelerating the Dutch energy
transition by heating 16,000 Rotterdam households with residual
heat from the refinery in Pernis. This results in annual CO2 reductions
of 35,000 tonnes. Industry still has residual heat available for over
500,000 households.
LyondellBasell invests in efficiency and CO2 reductionBy investing approx € 150 million in new systems, LyondellBasell is
reducing CO2 emissions by 140,000 tonnes per year. This amounts to
some 20% of the company’s CO2 emissions. The LyondellBasell
and Covestro plant on Maasvlakte produces raw materials including
for insulation materials, paints and adhesives. The aim is for the new
systems to be constructed by 2020.
Report from Rotterdam-Moerdijk Industry Cluster A report the describes the concrete steps the industry should take in
the region to help achieve the climate objectives. Step 1: take efficiency
measures, use residual heat to heat homes and greenhouses and
capture CO2 to store this beneath the North Sea. At the same time,
develop and scale up sustainable technologies, such as creating
hydrogen through electrolysis. Step 2: switch from oil and gas heating
to electricity and hydrogen (generated with green electricity instead
of natural gas). Step 3: replace fossil fuels with biomass: recycle ‘waste’
and use sustainably produced hydrogen.
Largest ever oil spill in RotterdamThe tanker Bow Jubail crashed into a jetty in the third Petroleumhaven
on 23 June. This resulted in a leaking fuel tank and 217,000 litres of fuel
oil in the port water. Not only the Port Authority but also many other
parties in the port worked day and night to clean the water surface and
remove oil residues from vessels as well as from some 500 swans.
The banks, quays and jetties also needed to be cleaned. This oil spill
was by far the biggest ever in the port of Rotterdam.
Maasvlakte radar tower taken into operationThe Maasvlakte 2 radar tower was taken into operation in October.
The 70-metre-high tower on the seawall is taking over the radar coverage
from the former lighthouse on Europaweg. Radar coverage continues
to decrease the more built-up Maasvlakte becomes. This means that
the new radar tower becoming operational will improve safety in the
port. As well as a unique design (oval-shaped), it is also a sustainable
design. The material is 100% recyclable and is low-maintenance.
Camera surveillance in the portIn 2018, a partnership for camera surveillance was established. Various
parties aim to deliver a coordinated contribution to combat drug crimi-
nality, illegal immigration, human trafficking and environmental criminality.
A camera supervision pilot started in the Waalhaven-Sluisjesdijk/
Waalhaven-Noordzijde in July.
New Pronto applicationThe Port of Rotterdam Authority has launched the first version of Pronto.
This application enables shipping companies, agents, terminals and
other service providers to optimise planning, implementation and moni-
toring of all activities during a port call. Pronto can reduce vessel waiting
times in the port by 20%.
Better traffic and logistics information forfreight traffic in port of RotterdamThe Mainport Traffic Monitor is expanded with real-time information,
including from road hauliers. This expansion will enable logistics
companies to gain more accurate information in an intuitive way with
respect to the current traffic situation and handling times at container
terminals and empty depots.
5G in the port The first industrial applications have been tested with the latest genera-
tion of mobile networks in the port of Rotterdam area. 5G applications
will enable production processes to be optimised, industrial mainte-
nance to be better predicted and safety to improve further. 5G also
enables the large-scale use of wireless sensors and the process
industry will have immediate access to relevant information from the
production environment.
Float your idea. MAKE IT HAPPEN.This literally means FLOAT YOUR IDEA: test out an idea. Rotterdam
Floating Lab does actually also float ideas and innovations. The Port of
Rotterdam Authority offers the opportunity to test inno-
vations relating to shipping autonomy and digitisation on relief vessel
RPA3. We are cooperating with market parties, start-ups, government
agencies, educational institutions and research institutes to build a
knowledge network around Smart Shipping.
Four contracts with start-upsThe Port of Rotterdam Authority has signed a partnership agreement with
four young companies. The products of these promising start-ups vary
from compact tulip-shaped wind turbines to blockchain applications
for vessel cargo monitoring. The companies completed the PortXL pro-
gramme, which brings innovations from across the world to Rotterdam.
McNetiq: magnetic jetty anchors forsmart and safe maintenanceSafe, cost-effective and better for the environment: start-up McNetiq
produces and sells magnetic anchors with which jetties can be fitted to
steel walls without welding. The company’s growth is a good example of
the successful operation of the Port of Rotterdam’s innovative ecosystem.
Rotterdam aims to be the world’s smartest port. To maintain
our leading position, we need to keep on innovating. Innovation
is a crucial means of realising the envisaged changes in energy
transition and digitisation in the Port of Rotterdam.
Digitisation is taking off across the world. New techniques,
players, partnerships and business models. The Port of Rotterdam
is fully committed to innovation in order to maximise the benefits
of the new potential that digitisation offers.
In order to strengthen its position as Europe’s largest logistical
and industrial hub, the Port of Rotterdam works continuously to
improve accessibility. In this context, sustainable solutions are
sought to optimise access to Europe by road, rail, pipeline and
coastal and inland navigation.
Public bus transport to MaasvlakteMaasvlakte has been accessible by public transport since December.
The new bus connection forms part of Transferium Maasvlakte and is an
addition to the organised company transport and the Fast Ferry from
Hoek van Holland.
Minister starts deepening of Nieuwe WaterwegMinister Cora van Nieuwenhuizen of Infrastructure and Water Manage-
ment and Ronald Paul (COO Port of Rotterdam Authority) gave the official
go-ahead for the deepening of the Nieuwe Waterweg and the Botlek.
Rijkswaterstaat and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have joined forces
to ensure that sea-going vessels with a draught of 15 metres can also
reach the Botlek port.
10 years of Traffic Management CompanyThe Traffic Management Company celebrated its tenth anniversary.
It has achieved the most diverse projects to improve the accessibility
of greater Rotterdam, such as bicycle schemes and reward projects,
having recovery services on standby during rush hour and improving
bicycle and public transport networks. The Traffic Management
Company is a partnership between bodies including Rijkswaterstaat,
the Port of Rotterdam Authority and the Municipality of Rotterdam.
ENERGY TRANSITION ADDED VALUE & EMPLOYMENT
DIGITISATION INNOVATION ACCESSIBILITY
SAFETY
The Port of Rotterdam Authority is committed to combat climate
change and would like to play a leading role in worldwide energy
transition. The reduction of CO2 emissions and efficient use of raw
and residual materials are important tasks for the Port Authority.
The Port of Rotterdam aspires to be the safest and most efficient
port in the world, and is working on this ambition constantly.
This requires close cooperation, for which the port undertakes
various activities.
Port of Rotterdam Authority financesThe Port of Rotterdam Authority’s turnover decreased to € 707.2 million and
the net result to € 254.1 million. Site lease charges decreased to € 373.7
million and the revenues from port dues to € 302.4 million. Operating
expenses rose to € 267.8 million, mainly through increased Energy Transi-
tion and Digitisation activities. The Port Authority has proposed paying
out € 68.3 million in dividends to the Municipality of Rotterdam and
€ 28.2 million to the State, both of which are shareholders.
High investment levelFor the Port of Rotterdam, 2018 was marked by a high level of investment.
Gross investments rose 91% to € 408.1 million (with a turnover of over
€ 700 million), the highest amount since the construction of Maasvlakte 2.
CO2 footprintThe Port Authority’s CO2 footprint was 7.3 kilotonnes in 2018. Particularly
direct emissions fell from 6.8 kilotonnes in 2016, via 5.9 kilotonnes in
2017 to 4.5 kilotonnes last year. This means that the 20%-reduction objec-
tive (compared with 2016) was achieved. Particularly activities regarding
our patrol vessels and the introduction of the updated mobility policy are
bearing fruit.
For the Port of Rotterdam Authority, the large oil spill in June
was the low point of 2018 (see Safety). Investments in the port
last year were at the highest level for a long time.
Port of Rotterdam Authority makesgreener sea-going shipping more accessible The Port of Rotterdam Authority is expanding and simplifying the
discounts on port dues for shipping (Green Award). The discount
will encourage safe and green shipping in the liquid bulk segment.
From 2019 onwards, certified chemical tankers and sea-going vessels
with a cargo capacity (DWT) of below 20,000 tonnes may also use
the scheme.
Many firsts for LNG bunker operationShell and Sovcomflot Shell bunkered a vessel with cleaner liquefied natural gas, LNG,
from another vessel for the first time in 2018. This was a unique event
in several respects. The fuel was supplied to the Sovcomflot vessel,
the first LNG-fuelled Aframax tanker. It was also the first time that LNG
was bunkered ship to ship in the Port of Rotterdam.
Bee paradise in the port areaThe Port of Rotterdam Authority has introduced a swarm of bees on
the Maasvlakte in the verge next to the Stenen Baakplein. Ten thousand
bees will be collecting pollen and nectar in this section of the ‘Honey
Highway’. The goal of this initiative is the conservation of the original
Dutch honey bee by reintroducing it to this region.
SUSTAINABILITY
The Port of Rotterdam creates economic and social value and
plans to realise sustainable growth. Here you can see a small
selection of projects that will contribute to a sustainable future
for the port.
The direct and indirect added value of the port of Rotterdam
in 2017 (last known figures) was 45.6 million euro. This represents
6.2% of Dutch gross domestic product (GDP).
INTERNATIONAL PORT DEVELOPMENT WORK AND EDUCATION
Reassessing international activitiesThe revised strategy for international activities was agreed in 2018.
With this, the Port of Rotterdam Authority is creating economic and
social value for the Netherlands and the Rijnmond region.
Participation in Pecém and Porto Central, BrazilThe Port Authority’s participation in Sohar Port and Freezone reached
15 years. In this period, Sohar has expanded to become a leading inter-
national success. In Brazil, the Port Authority has obtained shares in
the Port of Pecém, an already existing and fast-growing port in the north-
east of the country. The Port Authority has 30% of the shares, as well
as joint control over strategic decisions.
Consultancy, digital products and educationThe Port Authority has implemented various advice contracts,
including in India, Argentina, Mozambique, Latvia, Indonesia, Brazil
and Oman, including master planning, feasibility studies and port
management. Digital solutions were provided to national and inter-
national ports. In India, together with Erasmus University and the
Shipping and Transport College, we provided advice on the establish-
ment of a Maritime University. In Rotterdam, a Port Management
course saw a huge number of international participants.
Ambachtslab (Skills Lab) helps young peopleto gain work experienceThe Port of Rotterdam Authority and National Programme Rotterdam
South have established ‘Ambachtslab’. This helps young people
without employment and a diploma to find a job with companies in
the port. Young people can learn a trade during a three-month
period at companies, with the ultimate goal: a permanent job.
IT CampusTo be smartest port in the world, we need well-educated IT talent.
Technology students and Port of Rotterdam staff are trained in
digitisation at RDM Rotterdam. IT training in cyber security, cloud
engineering and the internet of things is offered at the IT Campus.
The objective is to train thousands of extra IT specialists in the
coming years as well as to enable thousands of Rotterdam primary
school pupils to become familiar with IT.
Social InnovationDeltalinqs, Vakbond CNV Vakmensen and the Port of Rotterdam
Authority are using the Rotterdam Initiative Social Innovation (RISI)
project to search for innovative ways of working in the port. Develop-
ment & learning, organising and innovation smarter by employees
are central at RISI. Concrete initiatives will be presented in 2019 with
respect to knowledge transfer, employability of older employees
and the creation of a business culture that develops social innovation.
More sustainable patrol vesselsThe Port of Rotterdam Authority’s (RPA) harbour patrol boats
started sailing partly using biodiesel (hydrotreated vegetable
oil) in 2018. This reduces CO2 emissions by 80 to 90 percent
and particulate matter emissions by 35 percent. The Port
Authority also introduced the hybrid RPA 8, which can sail on
both diesel and diesel-electric.
ESPO Award for Social InnovationThe Port of Rotterdam Authority won the 2018 ESPO Award.
According to the European Sea Ports Organisation, the Port
Authority has the best programme to transform the port
into the most attractive working environment for everyone.
ESPO values the way in which Rotterdam seeks connections
between port, city and region with respect to the labour
market, good working conditions and the relationship between
education and the business world.
Children pitch ideas for port in 2050On the Day of Sustainability, pupils from ’t Prisma primary
school in Hoogvliet presented their ideas about sustainability
in the Port of Rotterdam in 2050 to COO Ronald Paul from
the Port of Rotterdam Authority. The children had studied the
subject in depth, had devised fantastic sustainable solutions
and had developed these into an outline.

Global developments such as the energy and raw materials transition, digitisation and changing freight flows have far-reaching consequences for all our activities. Flexibility and adaptabilityare therefore required in the further deve- lopment and renewal of the Rotterdam port and industrial area. To maintain prosperity in our region, the Netherlands and Northwest Europe, we must create sufficient space for developments today and tomorrow. Our strategy therefore primarily focuses on innovative capacity, broadening the portfolio and enhancingthe business climate.’

These pages contain a selection of the 2018 milestones and projects within the themes that are important forthe port.
The port and work are changing fundamentally. We need
strong hands as well as smart minds if we are to remain a
vital and competitive port. That is why it is important to get
more and more people from school to work, from work to
work and back to work again.
