FutureLand, Port information center in Maasvlakte, Netherlands
Description
FutureLand is a visitor center in the Port of Rotterdam that shows exhibitions about container terminals, large ships, and marine technology. The interactive displays explain how this port works and what modern technologies are used there.
History
The center was created along with the expansion of the port at Maasvlakte 2, a major extension into the North Sea. This development showed Rotterdam's plan to keep growing and establish itself as a leading European port.
Culture
The center shows how Rotterdam works as a modern port and what role shipping plays for the Netherlands. Visitors see here how people today work with massive container ships and modern logistics.
Practical
The center is open Tuesday through Friday and also offers special openings on Saturdays. Visitors can travel from land or take ferries to see the port and ships from different viewpoints.
Did you know?
Visitors can use special trips to drive directly to the massive container ships and terminals and watch the port operations in action. This direct proximity to the working operations is something many visitors do not expect.
