Port and Port of Rotterdam Authority stay on course The port of Rotterdam is performing well. In 2010, the throughput of goods recovered faster than expected leading to an increased market share. In addition, we invested substantially in Maasvlakte 2 and the existing port area. To ensure that Mainport Rotterdam remains an important factor in both the national and European economy, we keep on investing in a world-class port. This Annual Report informs you how we do this by, on the one hand presenting the 2010 figures and, on the other, looking at the future developments of our own organisation and also those of the port of Rotterdam. Herewith, we wish to inform you about several important achievements and future expectations. Before we do this, we would like to give some thought to a very sad occurrence in 2010. The good results of 2010 were overshadowed by a helicopter crash during the Tour du Port organised by us on 27 June 2010. This accident took the lives of four persons, including our colleague Martijn Hessing. Furthermore, one passenger was severely injured. Several colleagues witnessed this fatal accident and it has made a deep impression on all our employees. Quick recovery of throughput The recovery of world trade started in the second half of 2009 and grew faster than expected in 2010. In 2010, world trade grew by 15%. The throughput figures of most ports in the Hamburg – Le Havre range show a similar recovery curve for 2010. The throughput in the port of Rotterdam increased by 11.1% in 2010 amounting to 430 million tonnes, exceeding the level of the record year 2008. Almost all segments showed a positive development in 2010. The port continues to profit from strong European exports, leading to a growing demand for raw materials. In 2011, we expect throughput in Rotterdam to increase by a further 2.6%. Partly due to the throughput recovery, the net result increased to € 154.2 million in 2010. This was an increase of € 10 million (excluding exceptional items) compared to € 144.2 million in 2009. In 2010, the level of investment in the port of Rotterdam reached an historical high. Our investment aims at safety, space for growth, accessibility and sustainability. Harbour Master: clean, efficient, safe, secured The clean, efficient, safe and secured handling of shipping is one of the core activities of the Port of Rotterdam Authority. The number of seagoing vessels rose by 3% in 2010 compared to 2009. Despite a few incidents, the handling of shipping continued to be efficient and safe. On Thursday 21 October 2010, Princess Magriet of the Netherlands and Pieter van Vollenhoven jointly opened the Traffic Coordination Centre in the Botlek. The new coordination centre integrates the work of the traffic coordination centres “Stad” and “Botlek”. The combination of the two traffic coordination centres will improve the efficiency of ship handling in the port of Rotterdam.

Space for growth Two thirds of our investment in 2010 was related to the construction of Maasvlakte 2. This important land reclamation project is on schedule. In 2010, two thirds of the intended sand works (240 million m3) were raised and the construction of the first quay walls and solid sea defence started. The Maasvlakte 2 project is an investment for the future. It will enhance our long term position and our ability to anticipate the growth in container handling and other developments requiring space. Not only are we working on the expansion of space. To accommodate growth we are also continuing to look for possibilities to restructure and intensify the terrains already available. Good examples of growth by intensifying the existing port area are initiatives that enhance the energy related activities in Rotterdam (Rotterdam Energy Port). In this respect, the construction of the LNG import-terminal is on track. In 2011 we expect the first vessels to moor at the terminal. In addition, we will start an important process of intensification of the container sector. As a result of a decision taken in 2010 to broaden the Amazonehaven, the ECT Delta Terminal will also be accessible for the largest container vessels on the terminal’s south side. In 2010, we also concluded a collaboration agreement with the municipality of Dordrecht concerning the integration of the management, exploitation and development of the seaports of Rotterdam and Dordrecht. This collaboration will start in the middle of 2011, and will enable both parties to achieve synergy and scale advantages. Accessibility The port of Rotterdam can accommodate the largest seagoing vessels. Due to the excellent access to the European hinterland via sea, inland shipping, rail, roads and pipelines, Rotterdam is an important hub in the logistic chain. Growing throughput leads to an increase in the traffic capacity required. We are, therefore, investing in the extension of infrastructure and in innovative and sustainable traffic concepts. Our aim: fewer goods by road and more goods by water and rail (modal shift). De Verkeersonderneming, a foundation in which we participate, introduced a number of measures to stimulate a reduction of the number of cars on the A15 during rush hours. In order to avoid the bottlenecks at the Rotterdam cross-section (Rotterdamse Ruit), we believe it is important that the New Western Riverbank connection (NWO) is in operation by 2018. Consequently, we have allocated people and resources to the project organisation ‘Rotterdam Vooruit’ to speed up this process. In 2010, we started operations in the inland shipping container terminal in Alphen aan de Rijn. We also came to an agreement concerning the construction of a container transfer location in Alblasserdam. Furthermore, in 2010 we decided to develop and manage new rail connections for our customers; these will enable us to be more pro-active in the construction of rail facilities for our customers. Sustainability Sustainability for the Port of Rotterdam Authority means both improving our own performance and stimulating sustainable entrepreneurship in the port area. In our new Business Plan 2011-2015, we raised our ambitions by setting ourselves the target of becoming the most efficient, safe and sustainable port of our sort in the world. In collaboration with five other ports in the Hamburg-Le Havre range, we developed the Environmental Ship Index last year. From 2011 onwards, the cleanest vessels visiting Rotterdam will be eligible for a reduction in their harbour due.
