Port of Rotterdam-App briefly shows the development of the Rotterdam harbour and the impressive infrastructural projects that has made Rotterdam such a reputable world harbour.

❝ Thanks to its favourable location on the Maas, Rhine and North Sea, together with innovation, daring, vision, stubbornness, creativity, bravura, hard work and perspiration from the Rotterdammers themselves, the port of Rotterdam has developed into a principal actor on the world maritime stage. ❞

❝ A process of growth that has been taking place for centuries, but which moved into top gear after the Second World War and which does not show any sign of decline in this century. Just look at the construction of the Second Maasvlakte, for which no less than 2000 hectares of land were wrested from the sea. With the completion of this mega project - involving billions in investments - Rotterdam can now welcome giant sea ships and also process twice as many containers as it does now. Yet another example of traditional solid Dutch craftsmanship. ❞
