Eemshaven

Eemshaven is located in the municipality Eemsmond in the province of Groningen and is the largest sea port in North Netherlands . She lies on the Ems estuary, a sea arm where the Ems flows into the North Sea .

The Eemshaven and the port of Delfzijl, managed by Groningen Seaports . The port is approximately at the location of the missing port Emetha .

*1 History  ==History [  edit ] == In the 1950s and 60s, the Dutch economy grew hard. There was a need for much space for the solid industrial development made by the country. One of the measures that we chose was the construction of a new seaport in the Northern Netherlands. That was the Eemshaven, about 20 kilometers north of the existing port of Delfzijl, in the municipality of Eemsmond (currently the town's name).

One of the reasons to choose precisely for the North was the large surplus of workers who used to work in agriculture. [1] On February 8, 1968 decided the Provincial States of Groningen to the realization of the Eemshaven Project. The basic plan included the construction of a port for ships up to 40,000 tons, which could be later expanded to 70,000 tons. Founders of the plan were the Groninger water management experts ir. J. van Veen and Mr. N. Nanninga. [2] The actual design of the port is written by Johan van Veen . He designed the port in such a way that the harbor mouth to the Doekegat sticks. It Doekegat is a deep trench in the Wadden Sea . This design makes it possible for vessels with a deep draft, and with so much tonnage, have access to Eemshaven.

The first phase of the work was completed in 1973, and on June 7 of that year, together with an expansion of the port of Eemshaven Delfzijl opened by Queen Julianafrom the passenger ship "Rottum". In 1976, the first customer came to Eemshaven: AG Ems took a piece of land and a jetty in use along the Doekegatkanaal. Thecompany went passenger kept to the German island of Borkum . The so-called butter-buying cruises from shipping company Kamstra also moved from Delfzijl to Eemshaven. The latter were raised in 1999 when the European unification brought an end to the tax-free purchases in international waters .

Eemshaven was designed for large-scale operations in the oil refining and basic chemicals . The 1973 oil crisis, however, was a spoke in the wheel, so there was no oil or chemicals from the soil. The only source of income were (big) ships, which were stored temporarily in the harbor (and for which the port authority received money). One of the attractions was the oil tanker Aiko Maru (length 365 m, width 70 m, 430,000 deadweight tons). That ship arrived on April 22, 1983, and was the cause of the longest traffic jam ever in the Province of Groningen -. 22 kilometers from Delfzijl to Eemshaven [2]

In 1978 a 600 meter long quay trade was inaugurated. This wharf was extended by another 550 meters in 1984/1985. In those years also extended the Julianahaven.From the construction of the wharf began to settle small-scale businesses in the Eemshaven. A major development was that from 1996, the Meyer Werft in Papenburgdecided to bring its largest ships for dismantling and supplies to Eemshaven, because of problems with the draft on the Ems . The first ship arrived in this context was the luxurious passenger Galaxy, where nearly half a million people came to watch the six weeks that the ship was in port. [2]

The emphasis on the development of the port is now on logistics activity, <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[3] including throughput . <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[4] The first initiative in this area was a fruit terminal, which in 1986 for around 120 million guilders was built, but failed. In the year two thousand transshipment activities increased considerably: the cargo traffic has tripled in the period 2003-2011. In the late nineties to early two thousand and ten, the role of the Eemshaven in the Netherlands increasingly important energy supply through the construction of power plants.

With these plans is an investment of 54.3 million euros. The performance will take place in phases and will be mainly for power and data-related activities. The expansion is a result of the strong growth of energy-related activities in the port since 2005. Without this expansion is expected to all land in use in the port around 2020.However, a part of the plan, the expansion of Wilhelminahaven, by the Council of State stopped. This is a partial success for four environmental organizations, who had against any expansion permits resistance. <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[6] ==<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[Timeline  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ==<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[Companies  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);"><span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[Spring  Terminals <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">]  === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">In the Eemshaven are several ferry terminals, including by AG Ems with a ferry to Borkum . ===Power plants <span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[  edit <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === The Eemscentrale (2012)RWE coal power plant under construction (November 2012)Work in the Wilhelminahaven during the construction of the RWE coal power plant (November 2012)<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">The Oostlob is now the area where the greatest developments are expected.
