The project is fundamentally based on the premise that a significant portion of maritime transport will be carried out by electric ships between 2060 and 2070.
It is anticipated that the charging stations currently used for electric cars will become widespread for ships as well in the future.
In this context, plans are being made to design a futuristic “Electric Maritime Energy Terminal” at the Port of Rotterdam—Europe’s largest port—where ships can dock and charge their high-capacity batteries. The sustainable port project takes a step toward a sustainable future by incorporating various features, such as public spaces and fast-charging stations.
The project features:
- Green roofs and solar panels
- Wood and recyclable materials
- A combination of this technology and analog methods, along with the creation of an interactive space designed for pedestrian and bicycle access
- Smart lighting
- Expansive green public spaces
- Flexible waterfront design adapted to sea-level changes
