Location
Proposed Container
Terminal, Middle East
Moffatt & Nichol performed a series of planning and engineering studies and completed an updated Master Plan and
Basis of Design for development of a new container terminal as part of the multi-phased development of a new port
facility that includes both onshore and offshore facilities. This master plan project was completed to serve both the
owner’s and the tenant’s objective for the terminal. Operating modes from the original master plan were revised to address
the owner’s objective of developing a state-of-the-art container terminal, initially operating as a semi-automated
terminal but designed for future operation as a fully-automated.
New Coal Port
Owner: Confidential
The objective of this preliminary study was to identify a suitable port site on Colombia’s Caribbean coast for exporting
coal from the Cerrejon Sur mine area and present a concept for the marine facilities and the primary elements of
the landside stockyards and facilities. The client’s objective is to have coal moving through the new terminal before the
end of 2011, when the first three Power Plants will come on line. Moffatt & Nichol evaluated the environmental and
permitting impacts and requirements to provide a preliminary budget for the investment required.
