About Amports

Amports is an association that represents approximately 300 companies and government institutions in the port region around the North Sea Canal, from the IJmuiden piers to the Orange Locks and Buiten-IJ (Outer IJ). Established in 1945, Amports is responsible for collective port and transport promotion.

Activities
Amports’ primary responsibility is to realise the general promotion of the ports and port companies. One of the main objectives of these activities is to circulate the USPs in text and images among the relevant target groups and public. This is achieved via joint participation in national and international exhibitions and trade missions, and via the publication of a port magazine in Dutch and English.

To further encourage a sense of solidarity, Amports organises various networking events such as the Annual Port Dinner, the Annual Port Conference and the Port Golf Tournament. Amports also functions as a regional maritime information service, providing the media with details about the North Sea Canal region.

Member services
As well as participating in the above activities, Amports assists members in individual promotional projects. Members looking to take part in an exhibition can consult Amports and request help with realisation.

HollandPorts
In a globalising world, it is increasingly important promotion-wise to cooperate with other Dutch ports and their promotional organisations. At Amports this has resulted in various jointly organised activities.
