What’s the buzz all about? The delay in constructing the Delta Rhine Corridor. This 270-kilometre corridor is crucial for transporting hydrogen, CO2, and hydrogen carriers from the port of Rotterdam to industries in Limburg and Germany. We’ll discuss the impact of this delay and what is needed to minimise further setbacks, ensuring the port remains a vital hub for industry.

Looking ahead, we explore a project aimed at making the port future-proof. The ports of Rotterdam and Tanger Med (Morocco) reflect on two successful pilots focused on the digitalisation of document flows in the supply chain. These initiatives are paving the way for more efficient and sustainable operations.

As you drive from the Rijnmond region to Maasvlakte 2, you’ll notice a striking building: Portlantis. Still under construction, this new experience centre is set to open in March 2025. Eileen Niks and Piet-Harm Sterk share all the details about this exciting project, highlighting its significance for the port’s future.

In our ‘Behind the Scenes’ section, we take you aboard the floating sheerlegs you often see sailing near the port. These impressive lifting services handle everything from generators to bridges and hulls to tugs, making light work of heavy loads. It’s a fascinating look at the machinery that keeps the port running smoothly.

Former mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb, who recently concluded his 15-year tenure, described the port of Rotterdam as: ‘sexy and absolutely indispensable to the city.’ We delve into his impact on the port and how the port influenced him, offering a unique perspective on his legacy.

Welcome to the third edition of the Rotterdam Port Magazine. This digital publication is designed to keep you, our valued partner, informed about the latest developments in the port of Rotterdam and its industrial complex. Here’s what you can expect in this edition:
