It examines port performance over the last decades and identifies the principal factors that have contributed to it. The effect of the ports on economic and environmental questions is studied and quantified where possible. The value added of the port clusters of Rotterdam and Amsterdam is calculated and its interlinkages with other economic sectors and regions in the Netherlands delineated. The major policies governing the ports are assessed, along with policies governing transport and economic development, the environment and spatial planning. These include measures instituted by the port authorities, as well as by local, regional and national governments. Governance mechanisms at these different levels are described and analysed. Based on the report‘s findings, recommendations are proposed with a view to improving port performance and increasing the positive effects of the ports of Rotterdam and Amsterdam on their territory.

A rough appraisal of new investments in circular manufacturing activities in ports in Europe drawn from organizational reports and official webpages illustrates the (slow) development of circular activities in ports. This paper is to our knowledge the first paper which deals with the implications of CE for the business model of the port development company. We assess if and how the circularity transition affects the role and business model of port authorities as developers of port clusters. We outline a framework for analyzing the consequences of CE on the business model of the port authority. We then apply this framework to get a detailed understanding of the emerging CE ecosystem in the Port of Amsterdam, which is clearly a frontrunner in the transition, and the role of the government-owned Port of Amsterdam port development company (PoA) in developing this ecosystem.

  • *All Views Expressed in Written and Delivered Testimony Are Those of the Author Alone and Not of the U.S
    February 20, 2020 Isaac B. Kardon, Ph.D. – Assistant Professor, U.S. Naval War College, China Maritime Studies Institute* Testimony before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission Hearing: China’s Military Power Projection and U.S. National Interests Panel II: China’s Development of Expeditionary Capabilities: “Bases and Access Points” 1. Where and how is China securing bases and other access points to preposition materiel and facilitate its expeditionary capabilities? Previous testimony has addressed the various military logistics vessels and transport aircraft that supply People’s Liberation Army (PLA) forces operating abroad. This method is costly, inefficient, and provides insufficient capacity to sustain longer and more complex military activities beyond the range of mainland logistics networks. Yet, with the notable exception of the sole military “support base” (baozhang jidi, 保障基地)1 in Djibouti, these platforms are the PLA’s only organic mode of “strategic delivery” (zhanlüe tousong, 战略投送) to project military power overseas. Lacking a network of overseas bases in the short to medium term, the PLA must rely on a variety of commercial access points in order to operate beyond the first island chain. Because the PLA Navy (PLAN) is the service branch to which virtually all of these missions fall, this testimony focuses on port facilities. The PLAN depends on commercial ports to support its growing operations overseas. Over the course of deploying 34 escort task forces (ETF) since 2008 to perform an anti-piracy mission in the Gulf of Aden, the PLAN has developed a pattern of procuring commercial husbanding services for fuel and supplies at hundreds of ports across the globe.

All information is provided in good faith. Port of Amsterdam and HISWA Holland Yachting Group take no legal responsibility for the accuracy, truthfulness or reliability of the information provided. 2 Introduction Dear reader, The appeal of Amsterdam as a destination for superyachts – both in its own right and as a port of call enroute to Scandinavia and beyond – is increasingly on the radar of superyacht owners and captains. Port of Amsterdam and HISWA Holland Yachting Group are working closely together with other parties turning Amsterdam into the superyacht hub of Northern Europe and beyond. Amsterdam’s prime geographical location and friendly regulatory environment for large yachts is backed up by superb mooring spots in the heart of the city and the rich diversity of leisure opportunities on offer. The city is ideally situated as a start or ending point for the Northern European Route. Moreover, the options for refits are growing fast and there is a dense web of superyacht building yards, designers and suppliers in close proximity of the city. Amsterdam is a city of great traditions and has a rich history. One of the traditions we embrace is the hand-over of the plaque and key of the city to ships during their first call. We continue this tradition for visiting superyachts. Captains and owners are pleased to receive this warm welcome and at the same time it gives us the opportunity to explain more about Amsterdam and the Northern European Route.

  • Allard Castelein, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority Speech During the APM Terminals Maasvlakte II Rotterdam Opening Ceremony, 24 April 2015
    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.

    Prace i Studia Geograficzne 2015, T.60 ss.107-126 Julian Jansen City of Amsterdam, Department for Urban Planning and Sustainability e-mail: [email protected] AMSTERDAM WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT An social-geographical overview Key words: waterfront, Amsterdam INTRODUCTION Waterfront developments have received a lot of attention over the world in the past decades. A vast number of cities have transformed their former harbor and sea- and riverbank into mixed areas of housing and business districts and a lot of cities are still busy doing so. The city of Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands, has always been related to waterfront activities. The port of Amsterdam is at the moment still the 4th transshipment port of Europe (Port of Amsterdam 2013). In history, port-related activities have moved to the western part of the city, while the central and eastern parts of the Amsterdam waterfront are transformed into mixed or housing areas. The north waterfront area is still in a process of transformation and already plans are being made for the most western and still active parts of the harbor. This article gives a comprehensive and global overview of Amsterdam planning history, waterfront developments and related urban design and planning processes. Also attention is given to the functions and demographic and socio-eco- nomic aspects of Amsterdam, and its waterfront developments. First, some general theoretical approaches on urban regeneration are being highlighted in relation to socio-economic aspects of waterfront developments. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK Economic and demographic transitions The regeneration of many cities and their waterfronts have widely been related to a first economic transition in the 19th and 20th century from early mercantile or power-based centers towards locations of heavy industries and manufacturing, and 108 Julian Jansen a second transition in the 20th century to a globalized service- and knowledge-based economy.

This conclusion is based on the following two premises: 1. The share of autonomous traffic depends on how the EU Slot Regulation is specifically applied.
