Discover Amsterdam Seaports
The ports of IJmuiden, Beverwijk, Zaanstad and Amsterdam together form Amsterdam Seaports, the fourth largest port in Europe. The ports of the North Sea Canal area employ over 70,000 people and are home to some 800 port-related companies. Amsterdam Seaports is the main economic engine for the North Holland region. But how much do you really know about the port? Did you know, for instance, that Amsterdam is the largest cocoa port in the world? And do you have any idea how much biofuel (an alternative to petrol) is produced here?
Amsterdam Seaports is in transition. The old traditional port has become part of the port of the future. A port with sustainable businesses, where hydrogen is produced and the place to be for large-scale recycling. Get to know the port of the future during Amsterdam Seaport Days.
