The Euromax Terminal Rotterdam is one of the most advanced and environmentally friendly container terminals in the world. The terminal has been designed for the fast, safe and efficient handling of large container ships. The cranes at the terminal have a reach of 23-containers wide.
AECOM’s services encompassed planning the new, highly automated container facility located on a 130-acre greenfield. We performed a detailed analysis to ensure balance between the wharf and cubic-yard capacity. We also conducted a detailed terminal simulation analysis to evaluate various crane configurations and width, comparing options such as bridge cranes, straddle carriers and automated stacking cranes.
The terminal features a full suite of buildings, including administration and maintenance, an on-terminal rail yard, and connection with other terminals via a dedicated roadway for multi-trailer trains.
