Teamwork
There is, of course, a lot of attention for innovation. A considerable number of participating companies and organizations have never before been admired at the World Port Days. A special example of teamwork is the Zeearend patrol vessel, which will be moored at Wilhelminapier. On this ship, police, customs and the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee work together in a unique way to protect the North Sea.
Familiar faces are also there, such as the Marine Village returns, where visitors can take a look at the many ships of the Royal Navy. At the Port of Rotterdam Authority, you discover the organization behind the port of Rotterdam as a gateway to the world. SummerLabb is also present: this initiative, together with its partners, brings sustainability, innovation and science to the public in a surprising way.
"Thanks to the MariTeam theme, visitors can get to know the people behind the success of the port of Rotterdam," says Sabine Bruijnincx, director of the World Port Days Foundation. “We are extremely happy that so many companies are enthusiastic and open to surprising collaborations."

Field trips
In addition to all the activities and demonstrations that take place on the quays around the Erasmus Bridge, visitors can once again take part in excursions that go deeper into the harbour. ExxonMobil, for example, offers a unique look behind the scenes with a cruise along the refinery in the Botlek. Visitors can also get to know the multidisciplinary teams of chemical company Huntsman Holland and see how offshore wind turbines are produced at Sif Netherlands.
The event can be visited free of charge. Maps must be purchased for excursions and boat trips. This is already possible for the popular P&O Ferries day cruise every year. Tickets for the other excursions can be ordered online from Monday 26 August at noon.
