Port of Amsterdam

The port of Amsterdam belongs to the municipality or city of Amsterdam under whose instructions Port of Amsterdam manages, operates and develops the port.

The port of Amsterdam and the smaller subsidiary ports in the North Sea Canal area have a long history of birth, decline and redevelopment to what is nowadays known as the Port of Amsterdam or Amsterdam Seaports. Of all the ports in the North Sea Canal area, Amsterdam is the oldest as the ports of Velsen, IJmuiden, Beverwijk and Zaanstad did not flourish until more recent times. Each has its own special character, specialisation and competences.

The Port ensures a safe, swift and environmentally responsible management of shipping traffic within its working area.
