This tour is part of Arcam's 'Een Optimistisch Rampenplan' program, investigating preparations for future risks in the North Sea Canal region.
This special boat tour offers a close-up look at the Port of Amsterdam, one of Europe's largest industrial harbors, where continuous operations manage bulk goods like soy, gasoline, and coal. Hundreds of companies ensure the continuous supply to cities and regions, creating an impressive industrial panorama. The tour delves beyond the visible activity to explore what happens behind the scenes. It examines the risks posed by heavy industry situated so close to the city, the vulnerability of critical infrastructure such as energy supply and waste processing, and how the area is adapting. This event is part of Arcam's yearly program, 'Een Optimistisch Rampenplan,' which collaborates with designers to investigate how to prepare for future risks in the North Sea Canal area, including chemical incidents and water management, while building a safe, energy-neutral, and climate-resilient city.
Tickets are available for purchase online via the Arcam ticketing portal. The ticket price is €24.50. The tour departs from the pier next to the A'dam Tower in Amsterdam Noord.
