Management and maintenance

One important task of Port of Amsterdam is the management and maintenance of the public space in the port area. It inspects and maintains roads, green areas, entries, embankments, craneways, warehouses and water-based furnishings (buoys, channel guides and quay lighting). A company that is situated in the Amsterdam port area can count on the management and maintenance of sites being well taken care of. The management and maintenance department is situated in the Petroleumhaven of Westpoort.

Port Security

Port Security is the general name for an international security project that aims at protecting ports from terrorism. The project is an initiative of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). From the first of July 2004, the security guideline 'Ship Port Facility Security Code, the ISPS Code' will be valid.

This international regulation obliges measures to be taken for the protection of ships and port services. In the first instance attention is paid to a ship and crew. The regulations are aimed at the interaction between the ship and the port services. The next step is the total protection of the port areas and is also valid for the companies that have no involvement with ships.

For this option you pay Port of Amsterdam a charge. The limiting condition naturally is that the neighbouring site is actually available.
