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.

Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Pi de Bruijn Highrise – Lowland Pi de Bruijn Ir, Master of Architecture Partner in de Architekten Cie, Amsterdam, Netherlands Abstract High-rise in the Netherlands, lowland par excellence, could there be a greater contrast? In a country dominated by water and often by low roofs of cloud, high-rise construction is almost by definition a Statement. Perhaps this is the reason why it has been such a controversial topic for so long, with supporters and opponents assailing one another with contrasting ideas on urban development and urbanism. Particularly in historical settings, these ‘new icons’ were long regarded as an erosion of our historical legacy, as big- business megalomania. Such a style does not harmonize with this cosy, homely country, it was maintained, with its consultative structures and penchant for regulation. Moreover, high-rise construction hardly ever took place anyway because there were infinitely more opportunities for opponents to apply delaying tactics than there were for proponents to deploy means of acceleration, and postponement soon meant abandonment. Nevertheless, a turning point now seems to have been reached. Everyone is falling over one another to allow architectonic climaxes determine the new urban identity. Could it be more inconsistent? In order to discover the origins of the almost emotional resistance to high-rise construction and why attitudes have changed, we shall first examine the physical conditions and the socio-economic context of the Netherlands.

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.

    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.

Thus, obtain my master’s degree in the Management of the Built Environment. Unlike many students who wanted to become an architect, I started the bachelor Architecture with the intention to end up in a dual master of Urbanism and Management. This came together in the Management in the Built Environment, where I specifically chose to dive in a topic related to the urban area development. The research is set around the development of the Haven-Stad. Immediately after reading many news articles regarding this development, I noticed that it was less in favor of the heavy industry. This raised many questions about the role of the heavy industry in urban redevelopment projects and I wanted to understand this from the perspective of the heavy industry as well as the municipality of Amsterdam.

  • A Longitudinal Case Study of Rotterdam's Port Community System
    ISSN (print):2182-7796, ISSN (online):2182-7788, ISSN (cd-rom):2182-780X Available online at www.sciencesphere.org/ijispm Governance of inter-organizational systems: a longitudinal case study of Rotterdam’s Port Community System Dissa R. Chandra Faculty of industrial technology, Bandung Institute of Technology Ganesha 10, Bandung 40132, Jawa Barat Indonesia www.shortbio.org/[email protected] Jos van Hillegersberg Faculty of behavioral, management and social sciences, Department of industrial engineering and business information systems, University of Twente PO box 1738 7500 AE Enschede The Netherlands www.shortbio.org/[email protected] Abstract: An increasing use of inter-organizational systems, as Port Community System (PCS), can be observed in port collaborations. As multiple organizations often rely on PCS, even for business-critical processes, proper governance of these systems is crucial. This study aims to explain the governance of inter-organizational port collaborations using a lifecycles paradigm. The governance is explored using three points of view – i.e. governance mechanisms, governance aspects, and governance models – and by describing the actors’ roles in collaborations. A case study in the port of Rotterdam is analyzed to explain how these actors affect the governance models through the mechanisms to govern the aspects in each lifecycle stage. The port collaboration in Rotterdam has gone through three full governance lifecycles and has entered the fourth iteration after the set-up of Portbase. During the last two cycles, the collaboration has maintained its Network Administrative Organization governance model. This case study analysis of Rotterdam’s port collaboration provides an example of how a systematic approach could help to discuss and communicate the governance of inter-organizational port collaboration systems and gives some lessons learned for other collaborations.
