Together with our international partners, we signed two new agreements that herald a next phase in the development of a corridor between the Spanish port of Bilbao and the port of Amsterdam for green hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives.

The Port of Amsterdam’s annual report published today shows that the port is in transition. While revenues rose to €190.4 million, transhipment fell to 63 million tonnes. This is mainly due to a decline in fossil fuel transhipment.

Due to the accomodation of refugees by the municipality of Zaanstad, a number of berths for barges in the Wim Thomassenhaven will disappear during the fourth quarter. For further information, please contact to the municipality of Zaanstad. Alternatives for mooring push barges are available in the Westhaven, the ADM haven, the Suezhaven and in the Hornhaven.

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.

VCK Group commissioned its fourth covered cargo terminal in the Suezhaven in Amsterdam today.

Together with ACWA Power, Zenith and GasLog we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore the viability for a green hydrogen export corridor between ACWA Power’s global hydrogen production sites and the port of Amsterdam.

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.

The Government of Oman, Hydrogen Oman (Hydrom), Port of Amsterdam, Zenith Energy Terminals and GasLog agree to study the development of a liquid hydrogen supply chain, to deliver Omani green hydrogen to the Port of Amsterdam and onwards to Europe.

Masdar, one of the world’s leading clean energy companies, Port of Amsterdam, SkyNRG and Zenith Energy Terminals have signed a Joint Study Agreement (JSA) to assess the feasibility of a dedicated liquefied green hydrogen supply chain for Masdar produced hydrogen to the port of Amsterdam. The new Agreement follows the Memorandum of Understanding signed earlier this year between Masdar and four Dutch companies.

Havengeldtarieven stijgen op 1 januari 2024 met 5,90% tegenover 2023. De stijging is deels in lijn met de inflatie waar ook Port of Amsterdam mee te maken heeft. Verder is er rekening gehouden met de ontwikkeling van havengelden in andere havens binnen de ARA-regio (Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerpen).
