Roex Y. Wolthuis G. Tweehuijsen D. Vethaak 1205955-006 © Deltares, 2013 Title Plastic litter in the rivers Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt Final draft 2013 Client Project Reference Pages Rijkswaterstaat, Dutch 1205955-006 1205955-006-ZWS-0006 125 PublicWorks Department Keywords Rivers, litter, debris, Scheldt River, Meuse River, Rhine River, plastic litter, Marine Strategy Framework Directive Summary The unique properties and societal benefits of plastics have led to an increased global plastic consumption that results in growing accumulation of end-of-life plastics. Plastics discarded off improperly end up in the environment, both land and water, where they may be transported to the seas and oceans. Rivers are transportation pathways that carry litter into the seas and oceans. The general picture of plastic litter in the Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt rivers is complex partly because many different organizations are involved and data on plastic litter are not collected systematically. An overview has been prepared of available data and data gaps. The data were analysed and used for a preliminary assessment of the contribution by Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt to the plastic waste in the North Sea. Based on the limited data on removal of litter by contractors and collection of litter by volunteers in flood plains, measurements of transported litter indicate that about 15,000 m3 macroplastic litter entered the North Sea yearly in the period 2000 to 2012.

  • 1 1 Title Conflicts About the Extension of the Rhine Economy the Case Of
    1 Title Conflicts about the Extension of the Rhine Economy The case of the port expansion by Maasvlakte II (1969-2008). Name and affiliation Dirk Koppenol, PhD-student at the Erasmus School of History Culture and Communication. Abstract The port land reclamation project - Maasvlakte II of the Port of Rotterdam - is probably, the most literal extension of the Economic Rhine Region, enhancing it in size and length. In the 1970s and the 1990s, attempts was made by Rotterdam to construct this port expansion. Whereas, in the 1970s the proposal for Maasvlakte II was rejected because of popular resistance, in the 1990s all former opponents began to support Maasvlakte II resulting in its 2008 construction. The reason behind this disparity is the subject of this paper. Firstly, it is concluded that, in contrast to the 1970s, broad support was cultivated as opponents and supporters were part of the same discourse coalition, which supported economic development parallel to the creation of new nature reserve. Within this context resistance and delays were instrumental in fostering a dialogue and reducing conflicts. Finally, within this context it is concluded that plans for port expansions are only effective if they are in line with national policy or the dominant discourse coalition.

The size of the port’s industrial area and its position at the gateway of the European inland waterway network makes the port of Rotterdam ideally located for the transshipment of cargo. The port of Rotterdam is well equipped for handling bulk and general cargoes, coal and ores, crude oil, agricultural products, chemicals, containers, cars, fruit, and refrigerated cargoes.
