As the Amsterdam port, we are a link in international trade chains. Like the cocoa chain, an important chain for Port of Amsterdam. Mark Hoolwerf, Deputy Director at Port of Amsterdam International, shares knowledge with ports that are more at the beginning of that chain. In Ivory Coast, for example.

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.

Yesterday, Port of Bilbao and Port of Amsterdam, together with the Energy Agency of the Basque Government (EVE), Petronor, SkyNRG, Evos Amsterdam and Zenith Energy Terminals, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to join forces for the development of a renewable hydrogen corridor between Bilbao and Amsterdam. The corridor will focus on the maritime route between the two ports. His Majesty the King of the Netherlands Willem-Alexander, the Dutch Minister Rob Jetten and the Spanish Minister Teresa Ribera attended the signing ceremony as official witnesses.

The development of hydrogen has acquired the European status of Hydrogen Valley in the province Noord-Holland, the region announced today.

Zenith Energy Terminals, one of the largest storage terminals in the port, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with German company INERATEC to construct a Power-to-Liquid plant in the port of Amsterdam. A Power-to-Liquid plant converts renewable energy (power) to a sustainable fuel (liquid). The plant has a planned annual production capacity of 35,000 tons and will be located on the terrain of Zenith Energy Terminals. The plant will be operational by 2027.

The world's first hydrogen powder plant will be set up on Zenith's terminal in the Amsterdam port. Electriq Global, a specialist in innovative hydrogen solutions, and Zenith Energy Terminals, a company that stores and processes fuels and energy carriers, have jointly signed a letter of intent for the construction of this production facility.
