The <strong>Port</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Rotterdam</strong> Authority Annual <strong>report</strong> <strong>2010</strong><br />

Smooth administrative settlements<br />

With the arrival <strong>of</strong> the new <strong>Port</strong> Management Bye-Laws (HBV) <strong>Rotterdam</strong> <strong>2010</strong><br />

implemented as <strong>of</strong> 1 March <strong>2010</strong>, the port regulations have been simplified and<br />

the administrative burdens for users reduced. The HBV is one integral document<br />

encompassing all port regulations <strong>of</strong> the municipality <strong>of</strong> <strong>Rotterdam</strong>. In the HBV,<br />

several exemptions have been replaced by notifications. Notifications are easier<br />

to process than exemptions. The replacement <strong>of</strong> exemptions by notifications also<br />

<strong>of</strong>fers customers other benefits. Customers can now submit notifications<br />

electronically to the Harbour Master. And whereas in the past exemptions had to be<br />

brought on board physically, an email is now sent to the captain after which work<br />

may start. This means the customer has fewer administrative burdens and saves<br />

time.<br />
