Working together on a sustainable port

The Port of Rotterdam Authority  is working to become THE European, world-class port by conducting its business operations in a sustainable and socially responsible way. Sustainability is even one of the Port Authority’s five key values.

Maasvlakte 2 Toplocation on the North Sea

Maasvlakte 2 is the expansion of the port of Rotterdam. A new top European location for port activities and industry is being created immediately to the west of the present port and industrial area.

Rotterdam Energy Port

In addition, the sustainable development of Rotterdam as Energy Port is of great economic and financial importance.
