Port of Amsterdam has achieved its CO₂ reduction target. The Port of Amsterdam aimed to reduce its corporate CO₂ emissions by 65% by 2025 compared to 2014 levels — and this goal has been met. Several initiatives contributed to this achievement: some of our locations are now off natural gas, patrol vessels have been made more sustainable and now run on greener fuels, our travel policy has been revised, company cars are electric, and a new expense reporting system has been introduced, giving us better insight into the CO₂ emissions associated with our travel.

After ten years in various financial roles—five of which as Chief Financial Officer (CFO)—Alexander Kousbroek is leaving Port of Amsterdam. As of June 1, 2025, he will take on the role of CFO at Talpa Network.

In 2024, we developed a new vision for the Port in 2040 and a four-year strategy for the Amsterdam port. As of today, both documents have been submitted to the City Council for review and feedback.

Together with a wide variety of partners, Port of Amsterdam announced three agreements during the H2 Connecting Event in Duisburg, which bolster the port’s position as a key supplier of renewable hydrogen and its derivatives to the German market. The aim of the H2 Connecting Event, presided over by His Majesty the King of the Netherlands Willem-Alexander, is to strengthen the collaboration between the Netherlands and Germany in the field of renewable hydrogen, as well as to lay the foundation for intra-European corridors, with Spanish producers potentially supplying German off-takers via the Netherlands. The three agreements signed by Port of Amsterdam pursue these same goals, and seek to leverage the existing partnerships Port of Amsterdam has with prominent prospective producers.
