Since 1875, the area has been dominated by the maritime industry. The IJ-oever was built at the time to accommodate the ever-increasing ocean steamers. In 1970, one of the sheds was converted into a passenger terminal. The ships became larger and the cruise industry started to grow bigger and bigger. Because of the growth, there was a new terminal built in 1997: The Passenger Terminal Amsterdam, designed by architect Larry Malcic. The shape of the roof symbolizes the connection between water and land. The combination with the glass creates a phenomenal view.
