The Port of Rotterdam Authority manages, operates, and develops the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, Europe’s largest seaport. It oversees nautical access and safety, spatial planning and land leasing, and the construction and maintenance of quays, terminals, and fairways, as well as environmental and operational oversight within the port area. The port hosts a major cluster of refineries, petrochemical and bio-based plants, tank storage, container terminals, and bulk logistics, and serves as a key hub for crude oil, oil products, chemicals, LNG, containers, and dry bulk. It offers deep-water access and extensive pipeline, rail, inland waterway, and road connections to European industrial regions.
The Authority collaborates with industry, utilities, and public bodies to strengthen supply chains and advance the energy transition. Focus areas include hydrogen production and distribution, CO₂ transport and storage, electrification and shore power, efficiency and digitalization, and circular and low‑carbon industrial development. Revenues largely derive from port dues and long-term land leases, which are reinvested in infrastructure, safety, and sustainability.
Also known as Port of Rotterdam Authority, Rotterdam Port Authority, Havenbedrijf Rotterdam N.V., and Havenbedrijf Rotterdam.

Final drilling section completed, bringing commissioning closer and allowing residual Port of Rotterdam heat to supply roughly 120,000 homes and businesses.
Inspected a container terminal, discussed hundreds‑million‑euro investment plans and constraints with industry, and toured Shell’s Holland Hydrogen 1 green‑hydrogen facility.
Opened a 32‑km Rotterdam hydrogen pipeline, progressed CO₂ and heat projects, boosted LNG capacity, and saw shifting gas flows with higher power‑sector demand.
Five connected CCS projects (Porthos, Aramis, CO₂next, DRC, DSC) will capture, transport and store CO₂ under the North Sea and link industry across the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
Says it supports a climate-neutral port by 2050 but cannot unilaterally ban fossil activities; warns local bans risk supply security, emissions leakage and harm to industry.
€1.5M EU grant for FEED of a Rotterdam-area chemical recycling plant, enabling terminal co-location, heat integration and logistics optimisation to lower CO₂ and improve economics.
Technical, digital and social findings from five years of port decarbonisation work presented at TRA 2026, plus cross‑sector lessons for ports and airports.
Eco Levant received separate ISCC-certified loads: 90% biomethanol and 10% second-gen ethanol. Delivered by one inland bunker vessel, blended onboard. Shows fuel flexibility and CO2-reduction potential.
