In addition to port services and customer service, we also take our environmental responsibilities seriously and have had a centrally-led environmental management framework in place since 2002. This framework targets our efforts in a coordinated way and provides support and guidance to each of our business units.
ABP works closely with ABP Marine Environmental Research (ABPmer), which has particular expertise in assessing any impacts new developments may have on hydrodynamic and sedimentary processes and offers a full range of services including navigation, mooring, and dredging.
