Benelux inland ports for e-power


The Ports of Antwerp, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, the North Sea Port Netherlands, Drechtsteden and De Vlaamse Waterweg plan to set up a single shore-based power system for inland shipping and the river cruise industry.

 

This facility is used to provide moored vessels with electric power. On behalf of all these ‘Walstroompartijen’ (shore-based power parties), the Port of Rotterdam Authority has published a European call for bids in order to select a contractor for these services.

 

The tender is in line with the partners’ policy to pursue a balanced development of the various port areas in the Netherlands and Belgium. (cd)
