NEW PONTOONS FOR WINDCAT WORKBOATS AND KNRM
At the beginning of the Trawlerkade in the Fishdock, sixty metres of new quayside has been realised together with two new floating pontoons. The pontoons offer a dedicated Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) berth for six vessels of Windcat Workboats and two life boats of the KNRM.
NEW QUAYSIDE AND PONTOONS
Sixty metres of concrete quayside has been replaced by steel sheet piling. At the same time the terrain of the Royal Dutch Lifeboat Association (KNRM) has been extended. On the quayside two floating pontoons with a total length of 46 metres to offer berths for six of Windcat’s CTV’s and two of the KNRM’s lifeboats. A wave protection barrier gives access to both pontoons via two moving walkways. The pontoons are made to give access to the vessels on main deck level. Windcat Workboats transports personnel and material from the dedicated boat landings in the IJmond harbour to offshore windfarms off the coast of IJmuiden. The office of the volunteers organisation KNRM together with their workshop is located on the corner of the Fishdock. The lifeboat station is also located on this site where 20 volunteer crew are available 24 hours a day for saving people and animals in the port and at sea.
SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE
Rescue ladders are provided on the new quayside and on the pontoons. The navigation light is powered by solar panels. LED-lights and connections for shore power reduce CO2 emissions. Whilst alongside the ships can switch off their engines and load their batteries through the shore power. Water points are also provided on the pontoon.
EXECUTION
In close consultation with the users, KNRM and Windcat Workboats, this project has been executed by construction company de Boer & de Groot Civil Works from Harlingen on behalf of the Port of IJmuiden. These berths further strengthen the
offshore wind cluster in the port of Ijmuiden with companies such as Breman Offshore, C-Ventus, MHI Vestas Offshore, Noordzeewind and Windcat Workboats located in IJmuiden.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
For the supply of green, renewable energy a supply contract has been executed with ENECO. ENECO is developer and owner of the offshore windfarms Princes Amalia and Luchterduinen, both mainly operated from IJmuiden. In this way, the energy produced offshore Ijmuiden is supplied to the maintenance vessels berthed in the port of IJmuiden.
