Maascenter is an important navigation point for ships entering the Port of Rotterdam. In principle Maascenter is a buoy before the coast of Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Another important buoy in the neighborhood is the Maasgeul buoy as this is where the Eurogeul ends and the Maasgeul starts.[1]
Maascenter buoy is also the pilot station where ships entering the port get their pilot on board (except for ships with a draft > 14 meters as they get their pilot on board before entering the Eurogeul. For these ships Maascemter is also important as they will meet their tugboats at this point.).[1]
Ships with destination Rotterdam (that require a pilot) need to contact the traffic-centre 24 hours before expected arrival (ETA) at Maascenter[1]
