New possibilities with new, biggest sea lock of the world
500 meters long, 70 meters wide and 18 meters deep. In 2022, the largest sea lock in the world will open.
This will enable the Amsterdam port to receive even more large ships at the same time. The new lock will be tidal independent, safer, more efficient and more flexible. And offers better capacity 24/7.
The time has come for new opportunities. Welcome to Amsterdam!
Intermodal transport: efficient and sustainable
The terminals in the Amsterdam port area are connected to a large intermodal network of rail, road and inland waterways.
In this way you can easily and quickly offer door-to-door transport in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe. Without congestion and therefore without delay.
Intermodal traffic by water and rail is sustainable and energy efficient. We therefore encourage these forms of transport. For example, we support various (international) projects to further advance sustainable intermodal transport.
