Dutch naval tradition

Throughout history, the Netherlands has benefited the most from the naval industry. It is one of the countries whose development has been heavily influenced by this sector, both economically and culturally. Between 1950 and 2012, the Dutch maritime navigation was so prosperous that what the Netherlands represents today is precisely owed to this period.

The most famous ports in the Netherlands

Dutch ports such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and The Hague have played a crucial role in international trade and the colonization of distant territories.

Rotterdam Port is the largest port in Europe and the third busiest in terms of traffic, following Singapore and Shanghai. Due to its efficiency and capacity, Rotterdam Port acts as a magnet for business people from all sectors.

Amsterdam Port represents the complete recipe when it comes to the tradition of a Dutch shipyard, but it is also an important hub for industry, transportation, and the business sector. It is not just a Dutch shipyard; it is also a meeting point for the largest commodity traders from the Northern and Central European regions. Not to mention the technologies, modernism, and facilities of such a port.
