Overview
• Ports are old institutions
• Usually ports are situated near city centres
• Port are in most cases administered by governments
• The state of the port and the location are in most cases not fit for the current volume
development. Therefore ports require infrastructure updates and expansions.

, • This course shall focus on port expansions to update old or to create new port assets
(example Maasvlakte II en Mombasa Kenia). This brings pressure for expanding due to lack of
“space”. Rotterdam moved to the sea. In Hamburg the terminals are more close to the city
centres which brings issues like emissions and noise.
• Privatising the port of Rotterdam this meant a change of vision. You want to make money
now since you are a company.
