Not only in terms of size, but also with regard to quality. The Port Authority is therefore leading the transition to sustainable energy and it is committed to digitalisation in order to make the port, and the supply chain, more efficient. The core tasks of the Port Authority are to develop, manage and exploit the port in a sustainable way and to deliver speedy and safe services for shipping.<\/p>\n<h2>Ambition<\/h2>\n<p>Our \u2018Make It Happen\u2019 ambition is to inspire companies, residents, students and tourists and to help them realise their own ambitions \u2013 here, in Rotterdam. Take start-ups, for example: we offer them all sorts of opportunities to introduce their innovations in the port and the city. Younger and older \u2018port talents\u2019 can develop their skills during a traineeship or job. And port enthusiasts and tourists only have to board the FutureLand Ferry to see all the new and exciting developments in our port first-hand.<\/p>\n<p>Our ambitions extend far beyond the World Port Center, our head office. When it comes to realising our goals, we are grateful for the support of our \u2018Make it happen\u2019 partners, local residents, companies and students. Together, we dedicate ourselves to the key themes for today\u2019s city and port, including innovation, the energy transition, digitalisation, sustainability, safety and accessibility. The result? A city and a port of which everyone can be \u2013 and remain \u2013 immensely proud.<\/p>\n<h2>Facts and figures for the Port Authority and the Port of Rotterdam<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Port Authority: 1,200 employees, turnover approx. \u20ac 710 million<\/li>\n<li>Port area: 12,500 ha port area (land &amp; water, of which ca. 6,000 ha industrial sites).
