The Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat) and the Port of Rotterdam Authority [have] celebrated the completion of the deepening of the Nieuwe Waterweg and Botlek. One of the busiest waterways in the Netherlands has been deepened by a metre and a half across a distance of 25 kilometres…
…The largest sea-going vessels with a depth of 15 metres can now also easily access Rotterdam port’s Botlek area…
…The total joint investment amounted to around €70 million. The dredging activities were carried out while Europe’s busiest port remained open for business. Over 15,000 sea-going vessels navigate the Nieuwe Waterweg every year.
