The area as indicated in drawing N0822v01 (see Appendix), located in the Moezelhaven at Amsterdam, will be closed to shipping traffic with effect from 11 juli 2024. Shipping traffic bound for the shipyard in the Moezelhaven, however, will be exempted from this prohibition.
The port of Amsterdam region is a major player in agri bulk. Amsterdam has all facilities for agri bulk and has excellent hinterland connections.
To establish the following additional sign for a seagoing vessel during the bunkering activity of the designated fuels and energy carriers listed below:
1. between sunset and sunrise: a bright, all-round red shining light and
2. between sunrise and sunset: the international signal flag "B".
During (de)bunkering methane, methanol and hydrogen, requirements must be imposed on other port users and passing ships to keep them at a safe distance from these operations. These requirements reduce the risk of collision and ensure that passing ships do not pose a source of ignition in the event of leakage - although such leakage has a very low probability of occurring.

Due to stricter ISPS regulations, it had become impossible to combine the car drop-off point/drinking water tapping point at the mouth of Afrikahaven with a coaster waiting area on the other side of the jetty.
