The construction project was launched on June 16 by Huisman CEO Joop Roodenburg. The new quay will be, Huisman says, one of the most sold quaysides built in the country. Once built, the quayside will be easily accessible for seagoing vessels, allowing for fast installation, commissioning and testing of Huisman designed and built offshore construction equipment.
The $120m investment includes a gravity quayside with a 380m long coastline; 25 caissons will be installed, of which 20 have a weight of 5,800t. The front edge of the quay will be equipped with a traveler crane with a capacity of 2,400t, designed and built by Huisman. The new quayside is planned to be operational in January 2012. The entire project including infrastructure is planned to be finalised in June 2012.Huisman China to build new quay with 2,400t crane
