City and port belong together; the port is located within the borders of the city. The impact how ever, far exceeds the city’s boundaries. Over the next 20 years, it will undergo a signifcant transition in the interests of achieving a fully climate- neutral and circular society by 2050. This transition is of great public importance to the city, the region and the Netherlands as a whole. It is also exceedingly relevant in shaping a future-proof port, with plenty of new job opportunities in sustainable energy generation and the circular manufacturing industry. To make this transition possible, the City of Amsterdam aims to actively work and cooperate with the Port of Amsterdam, the companies in the port area, and its partners in the North Sea Canal area, the province and the Dutch government. Victor Everhardt, Alderman for Economic Affairs, Airport and Seaport, Municipal Holdings Despite the coronavirus crisis, the growth of the city is expected to continue in the coming decades. We will have to do everything we can to manage the growth of jobs and inhabitants, and to enable a liveable, inclusive, sustainable and economically resilient city. Both these challenges, the energy transition and urbanisation, are accompanied by an upward trend in demand for space, at a time when space is becoming increasingly scarce. Slowly but surely, in addition to a compact city, we are also transitioning to a compact port. We observe the city is expanding towards the port, and we want Amsterdam’s citizens to embrace the port as an essential part of the economy of the city and region. Only through close cooperation between the port and city, can we realise the energy transition and far-reaching urbanisation – naturally in collaboration Marieke van Doorninck, with the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. Alderman for Sustainability and Spatial Development The City of Amsterdam’s vision for the port, the Gemeentelijke Visie Haven, identifes and describes fve public interests that guide the city in its choices and partnership with the Port of Amsterdam. They are intended to create clarity both internally within the city, and externally about the municipal ambitions and tasks, and thus provide direction for the Port of Amsterdam. We will “get closer to the port,” through our formal roles and in mutual partnerships. We will do this without affecting the license to operate of the Port of Amsterdam, or taking its role. We have seen that the drafting of this vision has already led to an enormous increase in knowledge exchange, as well as mutual understanding between city and port. In that respect, the city and port have also converged in an imaginative sense: an important precondition for jointly fulflling our ambitions and tasks in the coming years. Bird’s eye view by Cornelis Antonisz We would like to thank all those involved who contributed to this vision document. from 1544. Image: Amsterdam City We sincerely hope that it will form the basis for a fruitful collaboration in the future. Archives. 6 Gemeentelijke Visie Haven 2020 – 2040 Summary Gemeentelijke Visie Haven 2020 – 2040 7 The Port in 2040 The port area will undergo a signifcant transition in the next 20 years. It is currently a bulk port, mainly for the storage and transit of fossil fuels, but by 2040 it will be one of the most important locations in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area (MRA) and the Netherlands where a sustainable energy and raw materials system is realised. This is in the light of the goal of a fully climate-neutral and circular society by 2050. This transition will be accompanied by changes in cargo fows and land use. Fossil fuel cargo fows are making way for non-fossil fuel cargo fows and space must be created within the port area for the production and storage of sustainable energy, and for the industrial processing of residues into reusable raw materials. Port map with operation area Westpoort Exploitation Area Operation Area Central Nautical Management Operation Area Source: Annual report Port of Amsterdam (2019) Amsterdam's port, one of fve ports of national importance, is part of the North Sea The fve Dutch ports of Canal Area (NZKG), which is the fourth largest port in Northwest Europe and the national importance second in the Netherlands in terms of sea cargo. Together with Rotterdam's port, the NZKG is one of the so-called Core Network Ports of the European Union. The Dutch seaports are conveniently located in a natural European delta, but their economic position is under pressure due to geopolitical developments and increasing competition from other European ports. A port is both a nautical logistics hub and an industrial junction for heavy industrial companies that establish themselves here because of the permitted environmental standards and/or the water-related supply and discharge possibilities. Urban facilities such as water purifcation, electricity generation and waste processing are also located there. Within the MRA, the NZKG is one of the few places where heavy industry is located. Many of the plots that are still freely available are located within the Amsterdam port area. For this reason, it is a logical location for infrastructural and business activities pertaining to the energy transition and the circular economy. This will create plenty of opportunities for new and sustainable jobs.

This applies to transport to the Dutch and European hinterland, as well as within the region and the city, or so-called city distribution. It is important that the port responds to this and pursues a two-track policy to strengthen its position as an inland port, in addition to its position as a seaport. It is in the public interest that the port’s two functionalities, as a nautical logistics hub and industrial estate, are retained and prepared for future tasks. In addition to the signifcant climate challenges, the City of Amsterdam and the MRA also face the task of accommodating the ongoing migration to the city. As an attractive, cosmopolitan metropolis, Amsterdam attracts national and international talent that functions as a growth engine for the economy of Amsterdam, the Metropolitan Area and even the entire country. In order to accommodate this growth REGULATION (EU) No 1316/2013 O.J. L348 - 20/12/2013 of jobs and residents, there is an urgent need for urban living and working Source: European Commission (2020) environments within the city and region. One of the locations designated for this is Haven-Stad1. In time, the Minerva-, Coen -and Vlot harbours, and the Alpha Triangle, which are all still part of the Port of Amsterdam operating area, will be transformed into high-density mixed-use areas.2 This movement, in which the port area makes way for a growing city, is neither unique nor new. It happens all over the world. Also, history shows that the port of Amsterdam has moved several times before. It’s a complication that Amsterdam’s port has very Haven-Stad is currently the largest inner-city redevelopment location in the Netherlands. Source: City of Amsterdam (2020) 1 Haven-Stad consists of 12 sub-areas located to the West and Northwest of the centre, including Sloterdijk, Westerpark, the Coen -and Vlot harbours and part of the northern IJ bank. 2 High-density mixed-use areas are the intended result of the transformation and urbanisation of low-dense industrial areas of the city. The mixed-use development, a mix of residences, offces, amenities and other commercial and social functions, is an important prerequisite for the success of high-density areas, combined with a well-designed public space (lush and green where possible, and with mixed-use open spaces). Gemeentelijke Visie Haven 2020 – 2040 9 The River IJ is an important thoroughfare for different means of transport. Image: Edwin van Eis for City of Amsterdam (2018) limited alternative site options –in contrast to, for example, Rotterdam, which has a Tweede Maasvlakte as a substantial additional site for port industries. As a result, the city is growing even closer to the port. It is of public importance that this process is carried out carefully, and that the Port of Amsterdam anticipates on future urbanisation at an early stage. When realising Haven-Stad, the City of Amsterdam will take account of the adjacent port area, where industrial land use is also intensifying and transforming. Another consequence of the rapidly growing urban population is the increasing use of water for passenger transport. This applies to recreational navigation, but also the movements of residents by means of ferries and bridges. Due to the enormous growth of its northern area, Amsterdam-Noord, Amsterdam is no longer the city alongside the IJ River, but the city surrounding the IJ. It is in the public interest that the growing passenger transport by water can be safely combined with the growing freight transport. In summary, we recognise fve public interests in this vision document: 1. Sustainability: climate neutral and circular. 2. The port as a nautical logistics hub. 3. The port as an industrial estate.

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.

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.

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.

  • Living with Rivers Netherland Plain Polder Farmers' Migration to and Through the River Flatlands of the States of New York and New Jersey Part I
    Living with Rivers Netherland Plain Polder Farmers' Migration to and through the River Flatlands of the states of New York and New Jersey Part I 1 Foreword Esopus, Kinderhook, Mahwah, the summer of 2013 showed my wife and me US farms linked to 1700s. The key? The founding dates of the Dutch Reformed Churches. We followed the trail of the descendants of the farmers from the Netherlands plain. An exci- ting entrance into a world of historic heritage with a distinct Dutch flavor followed, not mentioned in the tourist brochures. Could I replicate this experience in the Netherlands by setting out an itinerary along the family names mentioned in the early documents in New Netherlands? This particular key opened a door to the iconic world of rectangular plots cultivated a thousand year ago. The trail led to the first stone farms laid out in ribbons along canals and dikes, as they started to be built around the turn of the 15th to the 16th century. The old villages mostly on higher grounds, on cross roads, the oldest churches. As a sideline in a bit of fieldwork around the émigré villages, family names literally fell into place like Koeymans and van de Water in Schoonrewoerd or Cool in Vianen, or ten Eyck in Huinen. Some place names also fell into place, like Bern or Kortgericht, not Swiss, not Belgian, but Dutch situated in the Netherlands plain.

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.
