Nautical figures port of Rotterdam: a safe and busy year, slightly fewer vessels
2020 was quite a special year for the Harbour Master’s Division of the Port of Rotterdam Authority. COVID-19 was a dominant factor in the port as well. Additional corona containment measures led to an increase in work pressure. Although employees had to perform considerably more tasks, work continuity was not compromised.
