The project’s Environmental Effect Report (MER) calculated that based on the anticipated earthworks, 90,000 trucks will be necessary to supply and remove soil. This is of course spread over the whole period (approx. 15 years, i.e. until approx. 2030). Assuming 220 workdays per year, that amounts to 27 trucks per day. Of course the ideal is to make maximum use of transport by waterway. A double-barge pushed convoy has a load capacity of 5,500 tons and can therefore replace 220 trucks. The site is also big enough to allow volumes waiting to be loaded or offloaded to be temporarily stored.

The project MER also made an estimate of the number of trucks and light commercial vehicles based on the planned activities after 2030, i.e. after full commissioning of the industrial site. This resulted in an estimate of 160 light commercial vehicles and 211 heavy goods vehicles per day. Knoop Zuid will facilitate smooth handling of this traffic via the northern node of the project area to G. Armstrongweg.
