New harbour master
When Manon Baartmans stepped down
as harbour master with Zeeland Seaports, a good successor was looked for.
He has now been found. John Hollander
will be appointed harbour master with
the Zeeland Seaports Harbour Service at
the end of this year.
Since, 2007, Hollander (45) has been
active with the port company of Rotterdam, where he was deployed as
Harbour Master in the port of Sohar in
Oman. Prior to that, he had been working in Rotterdam in various operational
executive positions.
The management of Zeeland Seaports
warmly welcomes Hollander to this area,
because he has so much international
experience, gained in Rotterdam and
abroad.
Sloehaven companies switch to residual heat
In June of next year, the Central Organisation for the Storage of Radioactive Waste
COVRA and Martens’ Harbour Reception Installation will switch to residual heat
provided by Zeeland Refinery. At the end of September, the parties involved gave
their starting sign for the construction of the infrastructure in the Vlissingen Sloehaven. The link to residual heat will save fossil fuels and reduce the emission of CO2.
COVRA uses the heat for climate-control purposes in their

200,000 Euros. It is expected that the residual heat link in the
Sloehaven will be operational in the second quarter of 2015.
The residual heat link is the first of three measures agreed
upon between the Province of Zeeland and Zeeland Seaports
Five years ago, based on the realisation that sustainability
is an essential factor for success, director Jan Hoondert of
Martens Cleaning suggested the residual heat link in the Sloehaven. ‘Every day, I pass Zeeland Refinery. The refinery uses
a lot of energy for its production processes. And this involves
a lot of heat loss. I thought that it must be possible to utilise
this heat in our company. Our harbour reception installation is
quite close to it.’
And indeed, there was a possibility here. To realise the link
and exploit it, Sloewarmte BV was founded, with three equal
participants: Martens, Zeeland Seaports, and Evides Industriewater. ‘COVRA joined in as a second customer for the
residual heat and we are currently negotiating with Heerema
as a third customer to make use of the link.’
Considerable savings
The residual heat link provides savings amounting to 2 million
m3 of natural gas, which is sufficient to provide 1,500 homes
with gas for a whole year. According to Piet de Boks, director
of Sloewarmte BV, the residual heat link is often underrated in
the discussion about sustainability. ‘It may turn out of crucial
importance to the authorities in order to achieve their environmental objectives. The residual heat link will considerably
reduce the emission of CO2.’
Now that the starting shot has been given, the first spade can
enter the ground. Evides Industriewater will lay a five-kilometre pipeline and look after its management and maintenance.
Via this insulated pipeline, the residual heat, by way of water
with a temperature of 130 degrees will pass from Zeeland Refinery to the customers. Martens and COVRA will switch over
from gas-fired boilers to sustainable residual heat. The boilers
will remain as a backup system.
Harbour reception installation
In the harbour reception installation, Martens receives sludge
from ocean-going vessels and turns it into clean, usable fuel
oil. During this process, heat is required to turn the viscous
