Together with around fifty other maritime parties, ports, and shipping companies, we signed a Call to Action during the week of COP29 to accelerate the use of zero-emission fuels in shipping. The aim is to make at least 5 percent, and preferably 10 percent, of shipping fuels emission-free by 2030.

Port of Amsterdam is making data available via an open data portal. These data can be used free of charge for digital innovations and improvements. You can also use them for digital links and optimising your own processes.
