Teunis Muller (1894-1968) was working on the tugboat for his father Leendert Muller until half 1918. Together with his brother Jan Muller, Teun started to rent the tug EN AVANT III.

Muller involved in Zuiderzee Works

In this period Muller became very active in the project called Zuiderzee Works (Dutch: Zuiderzeewerken). This project is a man-made system of dams and dikes, land reclamation and water drainage work, in total the largest hydraulic engineering project undertaken by the Netherlands during the twentieth century. The project involved the damming of the Zuiderzee, a large, shallow inlet of the North Sea, and the reclamation of land in the newly enclosed water using polders. Its main purposes are to improve flood protection and create additional land for agriculture.

The American Society of Civil Engineers declared these works, together with the Delta Works in the South-West of the Netherlands, as among the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.

Bridging the gap

Muller became market specialist in transporting and commissioning (swimming-in) of several bridges after the Second World War (WWII). One of the important landmarks was the Moerdijk bridge, which had to be restored. By the use of barges and tugs, Muller succesfully sailed in the several bridgespans over the river. This job was picked up by by the national newspapers and resulted in many contracts with the national authorities and local steel company's.

CO2 footprint

De CO2-prestatieladder is een instrument om bedrijven die deelnemen aan aanbestedingen te stimuleren tot CO2-bewust handelen in de eigen bedrijfsvoering en bij de uitvoering van projecten. Het gaat daarbij met name om energiebesparing, het efficiënt gebruik maken van materialen en het gebruik van duurzame energie. Dit instrument wordt voornamelijk gebruikt in Nederland door overheidsorganisaties en bedrijven om duurzaamheid in aanbestedingstrajecten te bevorderen. De CO2 uitstoot is afhankelijk van het energieverbruik binnen ons bedrijf. Het uitgangspunt van de ladder is dat inspanningen worden beloond. Naast het aanbestedingsvoordeel, heeft het meer voordelen om het certificaat te behalen. Zo worden medewerkers meer bewust van duurzaamheid.
De CO2-prestatieladder onderkent vijf niveaus van “ volwassenheid”, zogenaamde maturity levels. De onderneming kan een hoger niveau bereiken door verbeteringen in de bestaande processen door te voeren en door innovaties in technologieën en methoden. MULLER streeft naar CO2 prestatieladder niveau 3.
Onze algemene doelstelling is om in 2021 onze CO2 footprint te verminderen met 5% ten opzichte van 2016. De doelstelling om tot 5% besparing te komen, heeft vooral te maken met bewustwording van ons energie- en brandstofverbruik en manieren om zuiniger te varen. Bewustwording bestaat ook uit het efficiënt plannen van aflossingen, carpoolen en het elektriciteitsverbruik verlagen.
Alle maatregelen staan beschreven in het energiemanagement actieplan. De maatregelen richten zich voornamelijk naar acties voor schepen, projecten en het hoofdkantoor. Voor het hoofdkantoor werden verschillende acties opgezet zoals: het toepassen van duurzame bouwconcepten, invoeren van energiebesparende maatregelen en het gebruik van groene stroom.

RoRo Ramps, Winches & anchors

Muller maintains an extensive high-end RoRo and Wedges stock, in order to accomodate the most difficult load-outs and RoRo-discharges of all kinds of structures and cranes. Together with electrical anchor- and mooringwinches you can be sure each loading and discharge will be steady as a rock.
A short list of what we can offer you:

RoRo-ramps; lenghts available: 5M, 10M, 12M and longer upon request
RoRo-wedges; Both steel and wood wedges available
RoRo-coupling beams; to be sure the ramps and wedges are coupled tight
Mooring winches; from 10 upto 60 tonnes together with various lenghts of steel wires
Mooring anchors; all weights and types possible
Anchor chains all thickness and lenghts possible

Ballast & Electrical

Water is a constant changing factor, especially in tidal seaports and rivers. Muller can ballast all his barges to the exact height and trim that's needed. No quay is too high and no bridge is too low. In order to ballast the barges Muller maintains a ballastpump fleet that is state-of-the-art in this region. Together with all kinds of hoses and connections, we move the water where it needs to go.

To run our ballastpumps, but also all other equipment such as lights, accommodation units and our mooring winches, we maintain our own power aggregrates. Our equipment list in short:

Ballastpumps from 30m3 upto 500m3 per pump
Hoses in various thickness and lenghts
Aggregrates from 30 kVa up to 320 kVa
Various electrical accesiories such as transformers and cables

Loadspreading & Support

Muller is able to support the heaviest weights in diferent heights. With load-outs it is generally required to stow the cargo at a specific height above deck, in order for the SPMT equipment to drive on and off the barge. Muller has various lenghts, widths and heights in steel supports to spread the load equally into the barge strong points. We have a large stock of HEB and HEM beams in different heights to make tailor made solutions to support your cargo.
