Port and Terminal Planner Intern - Nijmegen, Nederland - Royal HaskoningDHV

Beschrijving

The principle of port and terminal planning is based on determining the requirements at a future point in time. This is to develop a suitable port and terminal lay-out with matching (hinterland) connections and a programme of (phased) development towards this target. What makes port and terminal planning special is the complexity of hydraulic, nautical, and operational aspects involved, in addition to spatial planning, transport, environmental, and legal aspects common to land infrastructure. From the port authority or operator's viewpoint, planning is needed to anticipate on future developments and ascertain that the infrastructure, once built, functions well.
