Unfortunately, rubbish is too often placed next to containers. Therefore, Port of Amsterdam will hang a camera near the containers in Afrikahaven in March.

From now on, there we will an additional waiting place for coupled push barges. This waiting berth will be an extension of the current waiting berths along the Houthaven breakwater.

You can report this to Ease2pay. They will immediately check whether they can reset the shore power point remotely or whether someone should go and repair it on site.

We have created new waste recycling points at various locations in the port.

In November 2022, we replaced the shore power points on the inland shipping jetty in the Nieuwe Houthaven with 'smart' shore power points. A real milestone, because now all the shore power points are smart in the port of Amsterdam!

In the first quarter of 2023 we will create an additional waiting place for coupled push barges. This waiting berth will be an extension of the current waiting berths along the Houthaven breakwater.

In the first quarter of 2023, we will install a third drinking water supply point along the Houthaven breakwater.

In the coming months Port of Amsterdam will replace all existing shore power units with smart, green shore power. This will happen to all cabinets in the port area within the ring (A10) of Amsterdam. In total there are 55 cabinets for inland navigation and 16 cabinets for river cruises and super yachts.

Recently, Port of Amsterdam has improved or added five facilities in the port. They are a second drinking water tap, extra poles for smaller ships and extra bollards. In addition, regular inland navigation vessels are now allowed to moor at the push barge spots in the Suezhaven. We made these adjustments on the basis of suggestions from inland navigation itself. After all, we ask for feedback after each visit. In this way, we try to facilitate inland navigation as much as possible and we can continuously improve our facilities.

From now on, inland navigation vessels will be able to extend their mooring duration in the IJhaven even without special circumstances. The extra mooring time will be 3 weeks on top of the standard 7 days, 4 weeks in total. This pilot project is a year-long test to see if it works for both inland navigation and the local residents.
