The construction of a major new sea lock that should simplify large vessel access to the Amsterdam port region is a step nearer reality. Friday evening, at the annual port guild dinner, saw Transport Minister Eurlings, Port Alderman Freek Ossel and North-Holland Provincial Deputy Elisabeth Post sign a finance covenant. The Minister will now be launching a further Plan Study on lock construction.

Eine neue große Seeschleuse, die den Zugang zur Amsterdamer Hafenregion erleichtern soll, ist einen Schritt näher gerückt.
