Slufter, Storage depot in Maasvlakte, Netherlands

The Slufter encompasses 250 hectares of land with a sand embankment surrounding a deep trench reaching 28 meters below sea level.

The Port of Rotterdam and Rijkswaterstaat constructed this facility in 1987 to address the growing need for contaminated dredging material storage.

The Rotterdam municipality initiated discussions with Rhine-based companies to reduce pollutants, leading to decreased contaminated sludge deposits in the facility.

The facility accepts contaminated dredged materials through three delivery methods: trucks, hopper dredgers, and grab dredgers operating 24 hours daily.

Since 1992, the Wind Park Slufterdam operates on the ring dike, complemented by a concrete office building resistant to extreme maritime conditions.
