Facilitating the growing port
To help Rotterdam maintain its leading role in the European market, the Eemhaven is to become the 'shortsea hub' of Europe. Maasvlakte 2 will allow the port and its industry room to expand and cope with the increasing amounts of volume and containers. Moving the container sector to Maasvlakte 2 will free up space for technically innovative companies, maritime services, creative economy and ICT.
New initiatives in technical education should help to create an innovative port. New industries and innovations in the middle-sized and small business sector are being actively encouraged.
