Drones are no longer limited to the sky. In the port of Rotterdam, autonomous systems now operate on land, at sea, underwater and even in confined industrial spaces. In Hi from the future, we explore some of the most promising applications.
However, there are also positive developments taking place in the port. Building the future tells you all about the first electrolyser that is taking shape at Conversion Park 1. It marks a significant step towards a hydrogen-powered future.
When reading the newspaper, you would almost think that there is no positive news to report about the industry, as yet another company has paused a project, stopped operations or announced a closure.
We begin with pilotage. Pilots guide sea-going vessels in and out of the port, day and night, working closely with tugs, boatmen and traffic control. In our Behind the scenes feature, we take a closer look at how this vital role unfolds in practice.
Welcome to the latest edition of the Rotterdam Port Magazine. In this issue, we take you into the heart of the port of Rotterdam, offering a unique perspective on the pulse and atmosphere of daily life within the port.
