  • Building a Decision Support System
    PIANC-World Congress Panama City, Panama 2018 BUILDING A DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR THE TERNEUZEN LOCKS : COMBINING OPTIMAL MANAGEMENT FOR WATER AND SHIPPING by Chantal Martens 1, Gert-Jan Liek 2, Dré Maes 3, Herman Haas 2, Maarten Deschamps 1, Leen Dekker 2, Harry van ‘ t Westeinde 2, Mario Vermeirssen 2, Harm Verbeek 2, Kees Storm 2 ABSTRACT The Terneuzen lock Complex in the Dutch city of Terneuzen gives access to the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal and thus to the port of Ghent (Belgium) from the Western Scheldt. Currently, the construction of a new lock is being prepared, which is expected to be operational in 2022. In the context of the licensing process for the new lock, how to deal with the available (fresh)water in the most optimal way was examined. The quality values for water (mostly focusing on salt intrusion) must be met, together with the shipping requests and taking into account the daily water management issues of the Canal. Following the conclusions of an expert group, set up to optimize the use of the lock complex, the decision has been made to prepare for a Decision Support System for the Ghent- Terneuzen Canal, in a joint Flemish-Dutch collaboration. This DSS will provide the planners and operators with streamlined and uniform information and support them in the economic and ecologic optimisation of the daily operations of the lock complex. The paper gives an overview of the background and the preparation phase of the DSS. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Ghent-Terneuzen Canal and the Terneuzen Locks The Ghent-Terneuzen Canal is situated on Belgian and Dutch territory and was constructed between 1823 and 1825.

  • Anglo-Dutch Relations, a Political and Diplomatic Analysis of the Years
    1 ANGLO-DUTCH RELATIONS A Political and Diplomatic Analysis of the years 1625-1642 ’’Nations have no permanent friends or allies, they only have permanent interests’’ Lord Palmerston Britain’s Prime Minister 1855 and 1859-65 Anton Poot, M.A. Royal Holloway University of London March 2013 Supervised by Professor Pauline Croft, MA (Oxon) DPhil. FSA FRHistS, to be submitted in fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Declaration: I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis, ANGLO-DUTCH RELATIONS A Political and Diplomatic Analysis of the years 1625-1642 is my own. Signed: Name: Anton Poot Date: 2013 For my wife Jesmond 2 ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to analyse Anglo-Dutch relations in this highly volatile period, as perceived and interpreted by both sides, and it also closes the gap between the notable theses of Grayson1 and Groenveld2. On 23 August 1625 Charles I and the Dutch Republic concluded a partnership agreement for joint warfare at sea and a month later a treaty for war against Spain. In December 1625 England, Denmark and the Republic signed treaties to establish the nucleus of an alliance against the Austrian Habsburgs. Charles wanted an active role in continental politics. Also to compel Spain to support his aim to restore his exiled sister Elizabeth and husband Count Elector Frederick V to their Palatinate estates and Frederick to his Electoral dignities in the Empire. The Dutch wanted England as an active partner in their war with Spain. It was a partnership of convenience, with different objectives but with the intention that success would serve the interests of both.

  • Mayor of Westkapelle, Excellencies, Official Representatives of Our Allied Nations, Veterans, Ladies and Gentlemen
    Mayor of Westkapelle, excellencies, official representatives of our allied nations, veterans, ladies and gentlemen. Your presence here today is highly appreciated and means a lot to us. Today we commemorate the sacrifices of the men of number Two Dutch troop and their British, Belgian, French and Norwegian comrades from number 4 Commando during operation Infatuate, the amphibious assault on Walcheren, here at Westkapelle. In August 1944, the Allies from Normandy managed to advance northwards. The speed of the Allied advance was so great that the supplies could not keep up. The advance stopped at the beginning of September. The Allied forces urgently needed a supply port. Antwerp was the most logical choice. Crucial to the success of the Allied advance into Germany was the need to shorten the ever stretching supply lines, which, with the Germans still holding onto the Channel ports, were still dependent on the Normandy ports. Antwerp was of even greater use then Channel ports, because of its very much larger capacity. The big problem was that this port could not be used because the Germans controlled the Scheldt mouth to the port. The Germans were aware of the importance of Antwerp and had strongly strengthened their positions around the Westerschelde. This situation led to what became known as the Battle of the Scheldt. Walcheren was heavily defended by elements of the German 15th Army, garrisoned by approximately 10.000 troops. Most of these troops occupied an impressive array of fixed concrete defences, part of the so called Atlantic Wall, protected along the shoreline by extensive minefields and beach obstacles intended to defeat an amphibious landing.
