IJmuiden, Port city and fishing port in North Holland, Netherlands
IJmuiden features four distinct harbors: vissershaven, haringhaven, IJmondhaven, and Seaport Marina IJmuiden, serving both commercial vessels and recreational boats.
The establishment of IJmuiden in 1876 coincided with the inauguration of the North Sea Canal by King William III of the Netherlands.
The local fish market maintains traditional Dutch maritime commerce practices through daily auctions of fresh North Sea catches.
Three massive locks at IJmuiden regulate water traffic between the North Sea Canal and the North Sea, facilitating passage for international cargo ships.
The North Sea Canal entrance at IJmuiden includes two parallel breakwaters extending 1.6 kilometers into the sea to protect vessels from strong currents.
