Maasvlakte

The Maasvlakte port area extends into the North Sea with deep-water facilities, rail connections, and container terminals covering 2,000 hectares of reclaimed land.

The construction of Maasvlakte began in 2009, using 240 million cubic meters of sand to create new land above sea level through extensive dredging operations.

The FutureLand Information Centre receives over 100,000 visitors each year who learn about maritime operations and port expansion through exhibitions and guided tours.

The port infrastructure includes 14 kilometers of double track rail, 13 kilometers of roads, and deep-water quays that accommodate vessels requiring 20-meter depths.

Two automatic container terminals within Maasvlakte operate with minimal human intervention, processing thousands of containers through computer-controlled systems.
