This year, the trailing suction hopper dredger HAM 317 will be moored alongside the Parkkade. HAM 317 has a length of nearly 100 meters and is accessible to the public during opening times of the World Port Days.

Opposite of the HAM 317, the Van Oord team will be available at its stand. Here, the company will display a vessel model of the Aeolus, its first transport and installation vessel for the construction of offshore wind farms. To enjoy a real maritime experience, visitors will also be able to enjoy the performance of various shanty choirs.

Visitors can contribute to the theme ‘A colorful port’ by helping with the colorizing of a large coloring.
