Coordinator Research Program Waterborne Transport | Expert advisor coastal infrastructure projects
+31(0)88335 8596
Martijn.deJong@deltares.nlDr. De Jong works at the Harbour, Coastal and Offshore Engineering department of Deltares as Expert Advisor on hydrodynamics related to coastal infrastructure. In addition, he is coordinator of the Deltares Program ‘Infrastructure for waterborne transport’, which deals with consultancy and research related to the operational use of ports, inland waterways and hydraulic structures. He has an MSc in hydraulic engineering and a PhD in fluid mechanics.
dr. De Jong has over twenty years of professional experience in civil engineering and harbour and coastal projects. As Expert Advisor he consults on hydrodynamic topics related to layout designs (wave penetration, currents and vessel-induced water motions), movable storm surge barriers, and nautical activities in and around ports (manoeuvring, mooring). Besides his own main technical fields of expertise, dr. De Jong has supervised several interdisciplinary projects involving large infrastructure developments. In these projects the topic of sustainability and minimising and mitigating negative impacts has an increasingly large role. This makes that dr. De Jong has a broad technical profile and can advise on many technical topics related to the design, operation and impacts of large infrastructural works.

JIP Ropes, Joint Industry Project, Research On Passing Effects on Ships. Cooperation with Pinkster Marine Hydrodynamics (PMH BV), Svašek Hydraulics, and MARIN. Study of the effects of passing vessels on moored vessels inside ports or along a channel. Aim: to improve insight into the effects of passing vessels and to develop methodologies for the evaluation of such effects. The study is funded by several international organisations, including port authorities (Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Antwerp), terminal operators, consultancy firms, and engineering firms.

JIP HAWA-II, Joint Industry Project, sHallow WAter Initiative, Part 2. Cooperation with MARIN (Netherlands),Bureau Veritas (France) and Shell (Netherlands/UK). Study of the characteristics of waves in shallow water for the design and development of offshore (LNG) terminals. Aim: to develop a complete design approach for nautical facilities in shallow water for low-frequency waves. The study is funded by several international companies from the oil and gas industry
