Port of the future
Stories of a changing world
As one of the world’s leading ports, Rotterdam harbours the ambition of being the smartest port. The Port of Rotterdam Authority is embracing the energy transition, digitisation and innovations as an opportunity for making logistics chains that pass through Rotterdam more efficient, more reliable and hence more competitive. If it were up to Rotterdam, autonomous ships would be docking in the port by 2030.
Smart infrastructure
With sensors, data and research, the Port of Rotterdam is fully committed to smart, digital and physical port infrastructure so that the port continues to operate at a world-class level. With various innovations and real-time data, the infrastructure can be better maintained and our customers continue to operate seamlessly in the port area.

Hydrogen in Rotterdam
The Port Authority is working with various partners towards the introduction of a large-scale hydrogen network across the port complex, making Rotterdam an international hub for hydrogen production, import, application and transport to other countries in Northwest Europe. The hub will also enable Rotterdam to maintain its position as important energy port for Northwest Europe in the future.
