In July 2023, a very special transport took place in the Amsterdam port area. With the help of a convoy of trucks, wind turbine blades with a total transport length of about 95 meters per truck were transported. Quite a challenge, but it ran smoothly thanks to the collaboration between TMA Logistics, Van der Vlist and Port of Amsterdam.

In the third quarter of 2023, there will be a new drinking water supply point at the Haparanda Dam. There was already a drinking water supply point at the Haparanda Dam and in the Afrikahaven, but there was high demand for a second one. At this new drinking water supply point, there is no car drop-off area.

It was pointed out to us by a skipper that the beginning of the berth on the Surinamekade did not match the bollards on the quay.

Until recently, it was not possible to return your car to the car drop-off pont in the IJhaven after 11 am. Skippers found this very annoying and we received several reports about this.

From October 2023, it will be possible for inland tankers at the Green Quay in the Amerikahaven and the public quay in the Aziëhaven to degas to a mobile degassing plant. A first step in the right direction.

From this week, Port of Antwerp-Bruges and Port of Amsterdam are offering Routescanner’s ‘Direct Connections’ on their websites. This service shows all available connections from the ports. Routescanner is the route planner for container shipping and shows not only the fastest container routes, but also the most sustainable.
