There are two berths on the quay at this location, which are both frequently used. Vessels come to the Boskalis Waalhaven location for maintenance and to be mobilized for offshore projects.
The intended completion date of the green shore power installation is June 2023, and it will supply 2 GWh of green electricity per year.
According to Boskalis, this will reduce CO2 emissions by 1.6 kiloton per year.
After the shore power electricity installation on the Rozenburg peninsula and the Hoek van Holland ferry terminal in Rotterdam, the Boskalis location in the Waalhaven will be the third quayside electricity installation for seagoing vessels in the Port of Rotterdam.
