HISTORY IN THE PORT TEXT: JORIS MOES Storage of breakbulk at the VCK deepwater terminal at the Amsterdam Coenhaven (Coen Harbour) in 1972. Photo: Ben Burgers Unbreakable Commercial sailing to Amsterdam as an international trade and transport hub has been going strong for some five centuries. The goods shipped by the Amsterdam vessels in the past could be categorised as mixed cargo; that is all there was, and containers had yet to be invented. Although mixed cargo has become an outdated term in the past 50 years, it still exists; nowadays it is known as breakbulk. Once upon a time, mixed cargo with its varying sizes and weights, such as chests, crates, bales or barrels was loaded into and removed from the cargo hold by crew piece by piece. The loading and unloading process was led by the first officer who was the linchpin at sea and the most important crew member on board after the captain. But he also had important tasks on shore, such as the loading and unloading of the vessel, and implementing the stowage plan. This involved how and where the outgoing cargo would be stowed, what had to be unloaded first at the next port of call, and should therefore be loaded last, and which cargo could be combined. There were lists full of directions, limitations and conditions that had to be taken into account in the stowage process. Shapes, sizes, chemical compositions, aromas... You name it. It was also essential not to have too much cargo on one side of the vessel. Ensuring that goods did not shift during the trip was a meticulous job, one that turned the officer’s hair grey. But it was also the basis for becoming a captain, his chief ambition. The result of his efforts became clear in the port with a cargo hold filled to the brim like a box of building blocks. The (un)loading and stowage process was time-consuming. While a 1950s vessel only spent around 100 days at sea at most, modern container vessels sail up to three times as much. Port time is not profitable to shipping companies – vessels at sea are. Major changes Around 1970 there were many major changes in the port. Stevedores adapted to the new shipping methods such as containers and roll-on/roll-off, and vessels became bigger. Although the logistic concept changed completely, the ‘conventional’ vessels used in the past were still here. They were now called multipurpose vessels, and transported anything that could not be shipped in containers. This type of cargo – formerly known as mixed cargo but in larger batches of the same type of goods – is today known as breakbulk. Breakbulk is too long, too wide, too heavy or too voluminous for containers. As in days of old, it is a type of cargo that is shipped individually in the hold. It may involve potatoes (in sacks on pallets), cut lumber (in bundles), paper (in rolls), chemical pulp (in bales), steel (in rods) or aluminium (in bars). But it may also involve cars, or project cargo, in which entire factories are transported to any destination worldwide in segments. A large number of multipurpose vessels are available to ship this type of cargo. In 2014 the total tonnage of breakbulk vessels amounted to five per cent of the global fleet, with bulk carriers representing 35 per cent, tankers 30 per cent, and container vessels 18 per cent. And now, in 2016, Amsterdam is still an important port. With nearly 100,000 tons of transhipped goods a year, the Dutch capital is among the Top 5 European ports. The Amsterdam port processes all types of cargo via modern dedicated terminals. With its first-class facilities on shore and excellent hinterland connections, Amsterdam is one of the leading ports in Europe. AMSTERDAM SEAPORTS 2016 51
