Eef, our brand new chatbot, will be inviting boatmasters to ask questions about their visit to Amsterdam. Eef will be coming online this month. ‘We hope that this chatbot will make it far easier for inland navigation boatmasters to obtain information.’

The Dutch seaports of Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Terneuzen/Vlissingen, Moerdijk, and Groningen have jointly won the ‘World Ports Sustainability Award’.

Now that the corona measures will be eased by the national government from June 1st onwards, it is possible to organise activities for up to 30 people. We are starting to see more excursion boats in the canals and, this month, a river cruise vessel in the port.

The new digital web app Arrivals is live. This application gives you access to information about all ship movements in the port of Amsterdam.

Mid-March we decided, together with the Amsterdam-Amstelland Safety region, that river and sea cruise ships are no longer welcome in the port until further notice. The reason for keeping cruise ships out of the port is to minimize the risk of further contamination of the coronavirus. The cruise season traditionally starts with the opening of the Keukenhof and therefore April and May are the busiest months for us.

Worldwide there is an outbreak of a new Coronavirus (COVID-19). The virus has also appeared in the Netherlands and other parts of Europe. In this article, you can find out more about the protocol of Port of Amsterdam concerning this virus.
