Beatrixhaven

Beatrixhaven

Beatrixhaven is 1,200 metres long with a width of 110 to 150 metres, and a depth of 9.0 metres.

At the northern part AG Ems operates a ferry terminal and EMS Maritime Offshore (EMO) runs an offshore service facility. EMO provides direct access to the water via a jetty with a capacity of 300 metres and offers lots of space for different configuration options. EMO is also the offshore service base for Siemens Gamesa (Gemini, Veja Mate) and General Electric (Merkur Offshore).

At the southern part stevedoring company Wijnne Barends operates a terminal and accommodates the Norwegian company Seaway Offshore Cables. Bek & Verburg, a specialist in waste collection and segregation, and DHSS, a vessel agency and port service provider, together construct a new offshore service base behind the southern quay as well.

A special quay with a length of 220 metres has been built for extra heavy cargoes on the western side. This heavy load quay has a maximum capacity (equally divided load) of 30 tons/m2 and has been especially designed for the transhipment of extra heavy cargoes such as wind turbine components. Jack-up ships can moor just in front of the quay. IHC IQIP e.g. used this quay to build up its 1300 tons Noise Mitigation Systems (NMS) for monopile installation and this quay has also been used for demobilization activities. The heavy load quay is a public quay operated by Groningen Seaports.
