    Allard Castelein, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority speech during the APM Terminals Maasvlakte II Rotterdam opening ceremony, 24 April 2015. Your Majesty, Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is almost six years to the day – 28 April 2009 – that we celebrated the start of construction on Maasvlakte 2, in the presence of Her Majesty Queen Beatrix. This event took place on the edge of the first Maasvlakte. We had just started the reclamation activities, and as you looked out to sea, you could just make out a tiny hump of sand, some 3 kilometres off shore. Over the past six years, many people have worked very hard to create Maasvlakte 2, and to add another 2000 ha of land to the Kingdom of the Netherlands without fighting, and to realise a world class, extremely modern container terminal at this site. An accomplishment of which we all can be exceptionally proud. In the Dutch language quite a few expressions have a maritime context. One example is ‘in zee gaan met iemand’: ‘to go to sea with someone’. We all know this means that you’ve decided to join forces; to team up; to work together. Because you share the same goal, and because you trust one another. If there’s one expression that is particularly appropriate for APM Terminals and the Port of Rotterdam, it’s that we met elkaar in zee zijn gegaan, we have gone to sea with each other. APM Terminals and the Port of Rotterdam already signed the contract for this terminal as early as June 2006: nine years ago.
