Windy Rotterdam

A nice walking area along River Rhine. Today we went to Rotterdam to see a Halal food fair organized by a Malaysian distributor. This is the view next to the food fair.

The port of Rotterdam is the largest in Europe. It’s not easy to appreciate the size of this ‘gate to Europe’ as the port facilities are stretched over a distance of 40 km. The whole port area itself is about 105 km2 or a fifth the size of Singapore. The other important statistic is the number of cranes – over 300 in all servicing the thousands of ships coming in and out every year.
