Van Oord signs contract for Maasvlakte 2

Yesterday Van Oord’s Managing Director John van Herwijnen signed the contract for the Maasvlakte 2 port expansion project at Rotterdam. Van Oord has a 50% stake in the PUMA consortium, which will be carrying out phase 1 of the project. The total value of the contract for this phase amounts to more than EUR 1 billion. ‘It is precisely our involvement in impressive land reclamation projects elsewhere in the world – for example The Palm and The World in Dubai – makes us proud to show our capabilities in our own country,’ declared John van Herwijnen.
