This work came into being under the dedicated supervision of Prof. Dr. Hein A.M. Klemann and Dr. Ben Wubs, who helped to smooth the bumpy process of conducting research and writing the results. I am also thankful to them for creating a warm and friendly atmosphere in the research group’s frequent meetings, often in their home accompanied by delicious food. I would also like to thank my colleagues in the research group, Joep Schenk and Marten Boon, for their support and for tolerating my frequent fits of insecurity and listening to my endless stories and jokes. I am also very grateful to Dirk Koppenol for the discussions we had, which made me understand what I actually think, and Hilde Harmsen for being such a good roommate, friend and language advisor. My work was likewise made a lot easier by the telephone calls and meetings I had with Martijn van der Horst and Jos Denis, for which I am very thankful. I would similarly like to thank Dr. Martijn Lak, who got me through by helping me to overcome my initial insecurity and panic. This thesis could not have been written without the cooperation of the people who were willing to give me interviews. Their experiences in the field provided me with some wonderful insights and their anecdotes made my day. I am especially thankful to Heinrich Kerstgens, the managing director of Contargo, who gave me two interviews and permission to visit all of the c mpa y’s German barge terminals. He also agreed to check the chapter on barge transport for any mistakes. Also from Contargo, I would like to thank Vincke Cok from Zwijndrecht, Jasmin Daum from Germersheim, Conrad Fischer from Ludwigshafen, Andreas Mager from Frankfurt am Main, Michael Mies and Heiko Vollmer from Emmerich, Arndt Puderbach from Koblenz, Christian Riegel from Dortmund, Leo Roelofs from Duisburg, and Wolfgang Schlegel from Worth.

  • Allard Castelein, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority Speech During the APM Terminals Maasvlakte II Rotterdam Opening Ceremony, 24 April 2015
    Allard Castelein, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority speech during the APM Terminals Maasvlakte II Rotterdam opening ceremony, 24 April 2015. Your Majesty, Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is almost six years to the day – 28 April 2009 – that we celebrated the start of construction on Maasvlakte 2, in the presence of Her Majesty Queen Beatrix. This event took place on the edge of the first Maasvlakte. We had just started the reclamation activities, and as you looked out to sea, you could just make out a tiny hump of sand, some 3 kilometres off shore. Over the past six years, many people have worked very hard to create Maasvlakte 2, and to add another 2000 ha of land to the Kingdom of the Netherlands without fighting, and to realise a world class, extremely modern container terminal at this site. An accomplishment of which we all can be exceptionally proud. In the Dutch language quite a few expressions have a maritime context. One example is ‘in zee gaan met iemand’: ‘to go to sea with someone’. We all know this means that you’ve decided to join forces; to team up; to work together. Because you share the same goal, and because you trust one another. If there’s one expression that is particularly appropriate for APM Terminals and the Port of Rotterdam, it’s that we met elkaar in zee zijn gegaan, we have gone to sea with each other. APM Terminals and the Port of Rotterdam already signed the contract for this terminal as early as June 2006: nine years ago.

  • Making Lifelines from Frontlines; 1
    The Rhine and European Security in the Long Nineteenth Century Throughout history rivers have always been a source of life and of conflict. This book investigates the Central Commission for the Navigation of the Rhine’s (CCNR) efforts to secure the principle of freedom of navigation on Europe’s prime river. The book explores how the most fundamental change in the history of international river governance arose from European security concerns. It examines how the CCNR functioned as an ongoing experiment in reconciling national and common interests that contributed to the emergence of Eur- opean prosperity in the course of the long nineteenth century. In so doing, it shows that modern conceptions and practices of security cannot be under- stood without accounting for prosperity considerations and prosperity poli- cies. Incorporating research from archives in Great Britain, Germany, and the Netherlands, as well as the recently opened CCNR archives in France, this study operationalises a truly transnational perspective that effectively opens the black box of the oldest and still existing international organisation in the world in its first centenary. In showing how security-prosperity considerations were a driving force in the unfolding of Europe’s prime river in the nineteenth century, it is of interest to scholars of politics and history, including the history of international rela- tions, European history, transnational history and the history of security, as well as those with an interest in current themes and debates about transboundary water governance. Joep Schenk is lecturer at the History of International Relations section at Utrecht University, Netherlands. He worked as a post-doctoral fellow within an ERC-funded project on the making of a security culture in Europe in the nineteenth century and is currently researching international environmental cooperation and competition in historical perspective.

  • Half a Century of Morphological Change in the Haringvliet and Grevelingen Ebb-Tidal Deltas (SW Netherlands) - Impacts of Large-Scale Engineering 1964-2015
    Half a century of morphological change in the Haringvliet and Grevelingen ebb-tidal deltas (SW Netherlands) - Impacts of large-scale engineering 1964-2015 Ad J.F. van der Spek1,2; Edwin P.L. Elias3 1Deltares, P.O. Box 177, 2600 MH Delft, The Netherlands; [email protected] 2Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht University, P.O. Box 80115, 3508 TC Utrecht 3Deltares USA, 8070 Georgia Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20910, U.S.A.; [email protected] Abstract The estuaries in the SW Netherlands, a series of distributaries of the rivers Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt known as the Dutch Delta, have been engineered to a large extent. The complete or partial damming of these estuaries in the nineteensixties had an enormous impact on their ebb-tidal deltas. The strong reduction of the cross-shore tidal flow triggered a series of morphological changes that includes erosion of the ebb delta front, the building of a coast-parallel, linear intertidal sand bar at the seaward edge of the delta platform and infilling of the tidal channels. The continuous extension of the port of Rotterdam in the northern part of the Haringvliet ebb-tidal delta increasingly sheltered the latter from the impact of waves from the northwest and north. This led to breaching and erosion of the shore-parallel bar. Moreover, large-scale sedimentation diminished the average depth in this area. The Grevelingen ebb-tidal delta has a more exposed position and has not reached this stage of bar breaching yet. The observed development of the ebb-tidal deltas caused by restriction or even blocking of the tidal flow in the associated estuary or tidal inlet is summarized in a conceptual model.

  • A Longitudinal Case Study of Rotterdam's Port Community System
    ISSN (print):2182-7796, ISSN (online):2182-7788, ISSN (cd-rom):2182-780X Available online at www.sciencesphere.org/ijispm Governance of inter-organizational systems: a longitudinal case study of Rotterdam’s Port Community System Dissa R. Chandra Faculty of industrial technology, Bandung Institute of Technology Ganesha 10, Bandung 40132, Jawa Barat Indonesia www.shortbio.org/[email protected] Jos van Hillegersberg Faculty of behavioral, management and social sciences, Department of industrial engineering and business information systems, University of Twente PO box 1738 7500 AE Enschede The Netherlands www.shortbio.org/[email protected] Abstract: An increasing use of inter-organizational systems, as Port Community System (PCS), can be observed in port collaborations. As multiple organizations often rely on PCS, even for business-critical processes, proper governance of these systems is crucial. This study aims to explain the governance of inter-organizational port collaborations using a lifecycles paradigm. The governance is explored using three points of view – i.e. governance mechanisms, governance aspects, and governance models – and by describing the actors’ roles in collaborations. A case study in the port of Rotterdam is analyzed to explain how these actors affect the governance models through the mechanisms to govern the aspects in each lifecycle stage. The port collaboration in Rotterdam has gone through three full governance lifecycles and has entered the fourth iteration after the set-up of Portbase. During the last two cycles, the collaboration has maintained its Network Administrative Organization governance model. This case study analysis of Rotterdam’s port collaboration provides an example of how a systematic approach could help to discuss and communicate the governance of inter-organizational port collaboration systems and gives some lessons learned for other collaborations.

  • INDESTRUCTIBLE HOLLAND a Tribute to a Culture of Delta Experiments
    INDESTRUCTIBLE HOLLAND A tribute to a culture of delta experiments Hardcore Heritage represents a new way of thinking about monuments and cultural heritage. Through deliberate destruction, radical changes in con- text, and seemingly contradictory additions, a new field of tension arises between present, past and future. ‘After Image’, ‘Deltawerk 1:1’ and national monument ‘Bunker 599’ should be read as built manifesto’ s that show the power of this approach. Introduction Never Again! This was the credo after the big North Sea flood of 1953 in the Dutch delta, an enor- mous natural disaster right after WWII. The response of the nation was not one of depression, but instead heralded a new culture: optimism about master planning at the scale of the entire delta, a ‘grand project’. The goal was to close off the streams of the Delta from the sea, in order to reclaim the land and keep it safe in the future. A series of enormous engineering works would guarantee an indestructible Delta — works preventing a catastrophic coastal storm flood that appears just once in 10,000 years. It led to what some have since called the 8th Wonder of the World: the Delta Works. www.raaaf.nl · In stark contrast to this famous feat of a Dutch culture of engineering grand delta experiments, stands the virtually unknown former hydrodynamic laboratory in The Waterloopbos, a unique open air testing ground that led to the Delta works. In 2018, one of these monstrous testing models from the past, the Delta flume, will be turned into a monument as a tribute to the Delta works and its characteristic culture of experimentation.

  • The Establishment of the Head Port of Gloucester, 1565-1584 (Mphil
    The Establishment of the Head Port of Gloucester, 1565-1584 Alexander Higgins A thesis submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts, Department of Historical Studies, November 2012. 24,884 words. Abstract After a fifteen-year campaign, Gloucester became an independent head port in 1580. This effectively ended Bristol’s long-standing jurisdiction over the Gloucestershire reaches of the River Severn and resulted in the loss of the greater part of Bristol’s historic port. This dissertation explores Bristol’s objections to this change and examines the prosecution of their complaints through the equity side of the Exchequer court. Primarily, this study focuses upon two commissions created by the Crown to review the case. The interrogatories and depositions produced by these commissions are used to explore the nature of this dispute, the motivation behind Bristol’s objections and why Gloucester ultimately retained its head port status. The first chapter focuses upon the practical implementation of the commissions. Rather than relying upon the legal records alone, this study uses letters, accounts and reports produced by the two parties to explore the workings of a commission. This approach reveals the extent of Bristol and Gloucester’s attempts to manipulate proceedings to their own advantage. These findings have significant implications on the impartiality of Tudor legal process and the reliability of the Exchequer records. The second chapter examines the findings of the two commissions to assess the nature and strength of Bristol’s arguments. It is shown that many of these arguments were unsubstantiated.
