History

Since 1875 the area has become a major part of the maritime industry. The IJ bank was built to keep up with the growth of large ships and to provide enough berths. The first passenger terminal was built here in 1970. Due to the enormous growth, a new terminal was added in 1997, designed by architect Larry Malcic. The shape of the roof symbolizes the connection between the land and water. The combination with glass provides an amazing view!
