Amsterdam (NLAMS)

The Amsterdam Port Area consist of the ports of Amsterdam, Zaanstad (see separate entry) and IJmuiden, which includes Beverwijk (see separate entry). Amsterdam harbour has been extensively enlarged and modernised with new deep and spacious harbours in the W port area. At present the total surface of the port area includes 2,873ha. Modern storage and transhipment companies are established for general and bulk cargo such as ores, grain and mineral oils. There are ample facilities for break bulk, containerised, Ro-Ro and general cargo as well as for forest products and cars. New types of cargo are sand, gravel and broken granite. Furthermore there is a container terminal, ferry terminal and a passenger terminal. The port has "Allweatherterminal" facilities available. Amsterdam is the world's largest benzene import/export port. Amsterdam is also the world's largest cocoa port, handling, storing and distributing nearly 20% of the world's annual cocoa production. Amsterdam is linked to the Rhine and the North Sea. The port remains an important centre for inland, as well as deep sea vessels. For smaller vessels using the port, a new Floating Battery Terminal is now available to service electric boats. The cargo-container-sized battery is powered by local renewable energy sources and placed on a barge giving easy access for electric boat owners.

North Atlantic Winter Seasonal Zone II, Winter Nov 1 to Mar 31, Summer Apr 1 to Oct 31.

Amsterdam is situated at the junction of the North Sea Canal (Nooordzeekanaal) and the Amsterdam Rhine Canal (Rijnkanaal). From the North Sea access is via Nooordzeekanaal, passing the locks in Ijmuiden to the port. From inland waters access is via Oranjesluizen or through the Amstedam Rijnkanaal.

Harbour: LOA 325.65m, draught 15.5m, beam 50.0m, 208,445DWT. Offshore: LOA 300m, draught 12.1m, 180,211DWT.

Approx 79,000,000t of cargo, 7,500 vessels, 56,000TEU and 1,000,000 passengers handled annually.

The North Sea Canal (Noordzeekanaal): connects the Port of Amsterdam with the North Sea. The distance between the locks and the terminals is 7-10nm. The canal is 275m wide and is accessible for vessels with a max draught of 13.7m SW. Lights are exhibited along the whole length of the canal and are placed on both banks at intervals from 100-240m. Lights are exhibited from each side of the entrance to nearly every branch canal and basin. North Sea Locks: The locks ensure that the Port of Amsterdam is free from tidal influences. The dimensions of the four locks are as follows: ..... Dimensions North Lock Central Lock South Central Lock South Small Lock (m) (m) (m) (m) Length of chamber 400 200 100 111 Width of chamber 47.3 25.0 18.0 11.0 Depth of sill under N.A.P 15.0 10.1 8.0 3.7 The maximum draught of the locks as well as the North Sea Canal is 13.7m. On the seaward side, just outside the locks, there are special lighter facilities for vessels with deeper draught. The South Small Lock is only for pleasure craft. The locks are operational throughout 24 hours, 365 days a year, irrespective of weather conditions. The E continuation of the North Sea Canal in Amsterdam, known as Afgesloten IJ (Het Ij), is marked by lightbuoys. The average sailing time is made up as follows: ..... Pilot station - lock 45mins Passage through lock 30mins Lock - terminals 60mins

There are more than 30 mooring buoys providing approx 20 berths either between head and stern buoys or lying to anchors and secured to a stern buoy.

Pilotage is compulsory in Ijmuiden Approach and the Noordzeekanaal for the following: ..... 1. All vessels carrying dangerous cargoes 2 All vessels over LOA 70m 3. All vessels between LOA 70-90m unless dispensation has been granted Pilotage should be requested when notifying ETA. Shore Based Pilotage (SBP) is available for certain vessels. The limit of SBP is 3nm W of the outer breakwaters. Pilot boards between 3-8nm W of the harbour entrance. The exact Pilot boarding position depends on the vessel's draught, size and prevailing weather conditions. ..... 1. Vessels of draught less than 8.0m: 3nm W of the harbour entrance 2. Vessels of draught of 8.0-10.0m: 4nm W of the harbour entrance 3. Vessels of draught of 10.0-13.0m: 6nm W of the harbour entrance 4. Vessels of draught of 13.1-14.1m: 52°29.45'N 004°19.40'E Helicopter Pilots board as follows: ..... 1. Channel bound vessels in the rendezvous position, approx 52°29.40'N 003° 47.40'E 2. Non channel bound vessels in an area of radius 5nm centred on position 52° 28.10'N 004°14.00'E Exempted from pilotage: ..... 1. Seagoing vessels of up to and including LOA 70m. 2. Certain waterways Denmark trakers, sea-river vessels and Rhine vessels when registered as such. 3. Fishing and dredging vessels. 4. Dutch and allied naval vessels. 5. Shifting vessels along the same quay and similar short shifts. 6. Shifting vessels under certain conditions within some harbour basins. 7. Vessels on which the navigator holds an exemption certificate.

The port area includes all dock areas and harbours on the N and S banks of the North Sea Canal from Amerikahaven (52°25.5'N 004°46.2'E) E to Oranjesluizen (52°22.9'N 004°57.7'E) except for Zaandam (2.75nm E of Amerikahaven).

Speed: Reducing speed is compulsory when passing the harbour entrance as moored craft or other objects may be damaged by backwash. The same attention must be given to vessels, craft or any other floating objects, which are marked as follows: By day: A horizontal red and white flag. By night: One red above one white light with a vertical distance of 0.6-0.9m. Max speed for vessels with draught exceeding 6.5m is 6kts. Vessels with draught less than 6.5m, max speed is 8kts. Consult the port handbook for details of all signals and for further regulations.

The mean height of the sea level off Hook of Holland is 1.2cm above datum, the mean rise of neap tides being 16cm and of spring tides 111cm above datum. The mean fall of neap tides is to 21cm and of spring tides to 63cm below datum. LLWS is 84cm below datum. A small intermediate rise not exceeding 6in (15cm) precedes low water by approximately 2 hours 22mins at practically all spring tides and one third of neap tides, being locally referred to as the "Agger". Note: Normaal Amsterdam Peil (NAP): The Canal Datum is 0.45m above Chart Datum (MLLWS) at IJmuiden and 0.4m below NAP.

There is a VTS in operation throughout the Noordzeekanaal. The regions maritime traffic is supervised by 'Central Nautical Control', a department of the Port Authority. This unit controls the shipping movements of arriving and departing vessels, passages through the locks, the manoeuvring near the terminals and the environment aspects of the port. VHF sectors are: ..... Sector VHF Ch Road Area 07 IJmuiden 61 Noordzeekanaal 03 Traffic Information 68

Tugs of varying power range are available throughout 24 hours if required. Tugs operate on VHF Ch 06 for entering and Ch 08 for departing vessels at IJmuiden and Amsterdam. Tugs are provided both day and night; tug assistance in the canal is needed only under unfavourable weather conditions and for large vessels.

Prevailing winds: W'ly.
