Rijkswaterstaat schedules 1.275 million m3 of beach nourishment and 150,000 m3 of foreshore nourishment at Maasvlakte 2 for September 2026. The owner names Van den Herik and Van der Kamp, while TenderNed records only Van den Herik as the signed contractor for the wider 31205037 package family.

September schedule names two execution participants

Rijkswaterstaat's current schedule establishes the September 2026 timing, 1.425 million m3 combined design scope and the two named execution participants. TenderNed establishes Van den Herik as the signed legal contractor for 31205037. The records do not disclose Van der Kamp's contract basis, assigned vessels, mobilisation or accepted quantities.

Workshare evidence trails the public delivery plan

The Maasvlakte 2 quantities exactly match the final design total for work packages 5 and 6, linking the owner schedule to the signed South Holland contract. The second named participant matters for plant planning, survey responsibility, pipeline operations and commercial attribution. The public pages do not say whether Van der Kamp is a subcontractor, consortium partner, vessel provider or package contractor.

Evidence conclusion

Commercial structure and mobilisation remain open

Van den Herik remains the legal contractor named in the EUR 16.302 million award. Rijkswaterstaat's current schedule supplies credible project-specific evidence that Van der Kamp will participate at Maasvlakte 2, but it does not rewrite the award chain. A contract, mobilisation notice or company release must assign workshare and vessels before either party can be attributed a specific September package.

Outstanding evidence

  • Van der Kamp subcontract, consortium or service agreement
  • September mobilisation date and named TSHD fleet
  • Beach and foreshore placement sequence
  • Borrow area, survey provider and wind-turbine interface
  • Measured production, completion survey and owner acceptance
