Port of Rotterdam

The Port of Rotterdam is actively integrating itself into the space industry, particularly through the development and management of airspace for drone operations. As part of its efforts to become a "smart port," it is implementing a U-Space prototype to manage unmanned air traffic and support drone services for inspections, security, environmental monitoring, and cargo transport. Collaborating with companies like Airwayz and regulatory bodies like EASA, the Port of Rotterdam aims to create a safe and efficient drone ecosystem, contributing to the development of U-Space standards and UTM systems. The port serves as a testing ground for innovative drone technologies and airspace management solutions, with the goal of expanding drone applications in port operations and logistics.
