Around 110,000 inland vessels call at the port of Rotterdam every year. Vessels have to deal with navigation, safety, legislation, services, communication and inspections during and after their visit to the port of Rotterdam. Information and further details about visiting the port are provided here.
Incentive scheme for inland container shipping
On 8 September 2017 the Port of Rotterdam Authority and the stakeholders involved in inland container transport between Rotterdam and the European hinterland held a constructive dialogue about solutions for the more efficient handling of inland container shipping through the whole supply chain to and from Rotterdam. The Port Authority has also made a fund available to support market initiatives that will be able to subsidise short-term solutions.

This does not apply to repairs performed at a shipyard. Exemption must be requested in writing from the Harbour Coordination Centre.
