The port of Rotterdam, the largest container port in Europe, is currently expanding its quays and retaining walls to increase its container transhipment capacity. Focused on construction sustainability, and on minimizing the environmental impact, Van Oord is using Marlyn Co
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Container volumes in Rotterdam are expected to continue to increase strongly in the coming years. In order to further strengthen its leading position as Europe's largest container port, the Port of Rotterdam Authority is investing in the further expansion of the Prinses Amaliahaven located on Maasvlakte II. Together with HOCHTIEF and Ballast Nedam, Van Oord has begun the construction of approximately 2,4 kilometre of quays and retaining walls that will significantly increase the container transhipment in Rotterdam.

Increasing efficiency with UAV monitoring
Building a new harbour comes with many challenges. Container quay construction requires sustainable, smart choices, so that the impact on the environment and nature is limited as much as possible. A project of this size requires the use of heavy equipment and a large number of employees at the construction site. Sustainable construction and safety are central during the implementation of the entire project.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or ‘drones’) can largely increase the efficiency in such projects while at the same time improving safety for the people involved. To ensure design conformance while keeping track of all the site development, Van Oord is using Marlyn Cobalt survey drones designed by Atmos to take accurate weekly snapshots for detailed progress monitoring.

This approach makes things much easier and faster for Van Oord’s surveying department compared to traditional surveying methods. The resulting orthophotos contain precise geospatial data that can be used to produce digital terrain models (DTMs) of the construction site at the port. “Marlyn gives us the possibility to capture ever greater project areas in more detail than before. A great tool to have!” said Frank Reynhout, surveyor at Van Oord.
