masterplan
Description:
During the hurricanes Luis and Merlin in 1995, the port of Philipsburg was severely damaged. In 1996 a master plan was developed to expand the present port, which consisted of:
- A cruise jetty long 650m
- A 270 m cargo quay wall including ro-ro facilities
- A storage area for cargo and containers
- A area for tourist commercial development
harbor completed
Cruise Jetty
Provisions have been made for the new port to accommodate up to 5 cruise
vessels simultaneously. This is achieved through a new jetty with a length
of 650 m (2130 feet), a width of 20 m (65 feet) and decks at an elevation
of 2.30+m (7.50+ feet) above mean sea level.
under construction
Cargo facilities and activities will be located south of the cruise terminal
and are physically (completely) separated from the Cruise terminal. In
the final phase of the project, a cargo quay wall of about 570 m (1870
feet) will provide space up to 4 cargo and container vessels.
