The Amsterdam port is a real city port: a mix of shipping, businesses and city life. You'll come across all that on this route. You'll cycle from the cultural free port of NDSM to a shipyard and to a climate-neutral new housing estate.

Length: 5 km

Together with major stakeholders, Port of Amsterdam has formulated a vision on the development of the port for the period up to 2030. This was adopted by our shareholder, the municipality of Amsterdam, in June 2015.

You'll find the current Lock Schedule in MyPort. The lock planning procedure can be found on this page.

The updated website of Port of Amsterdam is live. This website runs on a new technique which makes it much easier for us to make smart tools, APIs and services available to our relations and customers via the website. Because better services, that's what it's all about.

In recent months, the corona crisis has also reached the new sea lock in IJmuiden. Appropriate measures had to be taken. OpenIJ started taking measures at the construction site at a very early stage.

In the coming months, the eastern part of the northern flood barrier will be constructed, the threshold will be connected to the inner courtyard and the lock chamber will be dredged.

The new sea lock will be completely dredged out and all this sand will have to go somewhere. How does this work? What are they doing with all this sand? Arjan Kroot, site manager of the lock complex, explained the working techniques used on the construction site.

Good cooperation is important, especially with the construction of the new sea lock. Jordy Husslage, Head of Operations at Port of Amsterdam, knows all about it.
