Nieuwe Waterweg and Botlek Deepening Project

The Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat) and the Port of Rotterdam Authority are going to deepen the Nieuwe Waterweg and the Botlek.

A tender for the project has been issued. It will involve a 1.5m deepening along a 25km stretch of waterway between Hoek van Holland, the Benelux Tunnel and the adjoining Botlek port.

Carrying out the project will improve accessibility to the Botlek ports. The deepening will begin in the spring of 2018 and will take around six months.
