The new port area has been constructed in phases on behalf of the Port of Rotterdam Authority. Maasvlakte 2 connects directly to the previously constructed Maasvlakte. Half of the total area, 1,000 hectares, is intended for port-related activities. The remaining space is needed for infrastructure 290 hectares, sea defenses 230 hectares and waterways/port basins 510 hectares. Maasvlakte 2 is primarily intended to facilitate chemical and container transhipment companies. The new ports have a draft of 20 meters and are therefore accessible for the latest generation of large container ships.
