Den Helder wants to develop more strongly as a Blue Port. On March 4, 2026<\/strong> Parties from various domains are signing up, including culture, economy, education, government, sports, housing, and healthcare.<\/p>\n

The agreement is intended to foster greater collaboration in urban development. According to the initiators, Den Helder is at a tipping point. There are concerns about the declining population, the aging population, and a tight labor market.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the port presents an opportunity. Den Helder plays a role in maritime safety and the energy transition. The aim is to bring port development and urban development closer together.<\/p>\n

On behalf of the Board, Raymond Koen states that work needs to be done on education, housing, and quality of life. He also mentions broad health and a strong social foundation. He believes this requires collaboration between the various domains.<\/p>\n

Blue Port is an approach used in other port areas. Economic growth must be combined with urban engagement and a focus on the coast and nature. Den Helder links this to ongoing initiatives, such as METIP and the maritime campus development.<\/p>\n

The Board consists of representatives from various Helderse domains. Among them are Fotigui Camara, Peter van den Berg, and Stefan van Schaik.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
