The re-use of the Submarine Wharf is one of the Port Authoriy’s initiatives to bring a broad public into contact with the harbour. The port is not only a place for industry and the transfer of goods, but has many other faces. The Submarine Wharf is part of the former terrain of the Rotterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij (RDM) at Heijplaat. The exhibition in the Submarine Wharf is a partnership between the Port of Rotterdam Authority and Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. The Port Authority initiated the partnership and asked the museum to organise the exhibition by Atelier Van Lieshout.
The aim of the Port of Rotterdam Authority is to enhance the port of Rotterdam’s competitive position as a logistics hub and world-class industrial complex. Not only in terms of size, but also quality. The core tasks of the Port Authority are to develop, manage and run the port in a sustainable way and to maintain a speedy and safe service for shipping.
