The last block in the dam for a protective seawall at the Port of Rotterdam's Maasvlakte 2 has been laid. The dam is made up of 19,558 concrete blocks, each weighing more than 44 tons.

Rotterdam's new harbour, Maasvlakte 2, is now protected against the severest of storms and wave attacks. On Monday 30 January, Rotterdam municipal executive councillor Jeannette Baljeu (Port, Transport and Regional Economy) laid the last block in the dam forming the hard sea wall of Maasvlakte 2.
