Contract signed for construction sea jetty Brunsbüttel, Germany

Collaboration and added value

“Collaboration is in Ballast Nedam’s DNA,” says Richard Majoor, director at Ballast Nedam Infra. "In combination with Hakkers and CS Gas North, we want to build a proactive and efficient collaboration. Ballast Nedam and Hakkers complement each other well: Ballast Nedam has extensive experience in project management for complex construction projects, while Hakkers adds substantive value as a specialist in hydraulic engineering and steel constructions."

Hein van Laar, commercial director at Hakkers Waterbouw, adds: "As a specialist in heavy hydraulic engineering piling and steel construction, we are particularly proud to realize this project. We see that we can really add something in Germany with our expertise."

Sustainable and future-oriented

The sea jetty will be equipped to receive ships up to 267,000 m³. In addition to the main berth, a smaller berth location will also be realized for LNG bunker ships and barges. The jetty offers an unloading capacity of 14,000 m³ per hour and a loading capacity of 3,000 m³ per hour. Various crane vessels, floating sheerlegs and pontoons will be deployed during construction, using the latest technologies to ensure efficient and sustainable processes.

The development of the LNG terminal and sea jetty fits in with the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions in Europe. The project contributes to the European energy transition and to a safe, reliable energy supply for the future. With this collaboration, Ballast Nedam Infra and Hakkers Waterbouw are taking an important step towards realising sustainable infrastructure and further European collaboration.
