In the coming months, the eastern part of the northern flood barrier will be constructed, the threshold will be connected to the inner courtyard and the lock chamber will be dredged.

The new sea lock will be completely dredged out and all this sand will have to go somewhere. How does this work? What are they doing with all this sand? Arjan Kroot, site manager of the lock complex, explained the working techniques used on the construction site.

Good cooperation is important, especially with the construction of the new sea lock. Jordy Husslage, Head of Operations at Port of Amsterdam, knows all about it.

Now that the corona measures will be eased by the national government from June 1st onwards, it is possible to organise activities for up to 30 people. We are starting to see more excursion boats in the canals and, this month, a river cruise vessel in the port.

The following works will be carried out in May and June: The western part of the Middle Lock island will be cleared, the cofferdam for the lock sill of the outer head will be removed, and testing will be carried out on the new lock gates in Amsterdam and IJmuiden.

The new digital web app Arrivals is live. This application gives you access to information about all ship movements in the port of Amsterdam.
