Maximizing efficiency and productivity in liquid bulk terminals requires the right combination of handling, processing, storage systems, and transport design. We offer a full range of world-class solutions in planning, design, and construction management, including advanced visualization capabilities to help you realize your terminal-capacity potential.
Ports form a critical part of an extended supply chain stretching from the original manufacturer or producer to the final consumer. Intermodals have an increasing importance in the logistics supply chain, functioning to link the major transport modes with greater efficiency, integration, and capacity. They require specialized process and infrastructure design, and Hatch’s multidisciplinary teams bring together the rail, civil, transport, and system knowledge needed.

Ports are often one of the largest landholders in a city and are strategically placed on waterfront land that is increasingly valuable to numerous government bodies. Whether expanding, redistributing, or pivoting uses, effective planning can ensure best use for port operations. Our team works closely with Hatch’s urban solutions experts, including recognized urban planners, economists, transport planning, and social and environmental specialists.

Successful ports require cost-effective and maintenance-efficient marine structures, including wharves, quays, piers, bulkheads, caissons, cellular docks, revetments, jetties, and approach structures. Our globally situated experts work with you to develop solutions with minimized initial costs and reduced maintenance requirements over the life of the facility. We have experience with new, existing, and extending structures, for example analysis of existing wharves for larger ship loaders and can incorporate our knowledge of steel and concrete corrosion.

We can help you enhance port stability and sustainability by leveraging our coastal expertise. This includes analyzing coastal climate, collecting metocean data, assessing ship motion, and designing protective structures. We also focus on adaptation planning and navigation simulation, which promotes environmentally friendly solutions like living shorelines. Our approach minimizes environmental impact and maximizes operational efficiency, benefiting both ports and infrastructure assets.
Dredging plays a vital role in marine construction, from maintaining shipping channels to reclaiming land and nourishing beaches. We understand the unique challenges of dredging and reclamation projects. Our comprehensive services encompass the entire project life cycle, offering strategic asset management, beneficial reuse assessments, reclamation design, onsite project management, and advisory expertise in dredging, planning, and procurement. We are committed to ensuring the success and sustainability of your maritime projects.
From initial site selection through to increasing throughput of existing facilities, navigability can make or break the viability of any ports project. Our experience in designing ports across the globe includes working with difficult metocean challenges and conditions. We also consider factors such as requirements for tugs and support vessels and, where required, draw on the expertise of seafarers and numerical modeling to incorporate real-world experience.
Hatch has successfully completed projects under a number of different commercial models, including Owners Engineer, Independent Verifier, and Design and Construct. We are also experienced at providing full lifecycle support as an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management services.

Using specialized modeling and analysis systems, our dynamic-simulations experts help develop holistic production point-to-port solutions that integrate transport logistics, materials handling, material transport, operational modeling, scheduling, and berth planning. We identify bottlenecks and problem areas and evaluate opportunities, to help clients better understand the implications of planning decisions on return on investment.
“Pak Wisnu and the entire Hatch Team (including subcontractors) are demonstrating excellent performance, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hatch delivered all key documentation on time, including meeting our construction permitting time frame. With open communication, and strong commitments from the entire Hatch Team, we are confident in Hatch’s ability to deliver as promised.”
“Hatch were engaged by the Port Authority of NSW to develop port concept and master plans for strategically located assets in the Port Authority’s portfolio. Hatch were integral in bringing global expertise to the table that enabled the development of an evidence-based strategy to form a future growth-based plan for port operations.”
