The City Council of Amsterdam officially approved the ‘Westpoort Noise Dispersion Plan’. The zoning plan divides the available noise zones in the Westpoort section of the Port among the plots of land located in the area.

The City of Amsterdam’s plan to build 70,000 residential properties in and around the port is at odds with the interests of both the port and the businesses in the port, particularly during the transformation period. Port of Amsterdam has therefore responded to the plan. The public consultation period ended yesterday.

Port of Amsterdam supports the intention of the Amsterdam City Council to construct a fixed shore connection as part of efforts to further boost the development of the city’s Northern borough. However, Port of Amsterdam has released the statement below following the adoption by the Amsterdam City Council of the Provincial Executive’s preferred decision on 20 July.

Port of Amsterdam (Havenbedrijf Amsterdam NV) realised a turnover of € 147.4 million in 2015. An increase of 3.5% compared to 2014. The net result for 2015 came to € 52.6 million. These and other key figures are stated in the annual report published today.
