• Port in Netherlands

Location: Netherlands

Paterswolde in the Netherlands is not recognized as a major marine port. Instead, it is a village in the province of Drenthe, located near the border with the province of Groningen, and is known more for its scenic beauty and proximity to recreational areas than for heavy port activities.

However, for the purposes of understanding standard port descriptions and specifications, I can provide a general overview of what would typically be included:

General Overview:

1. Port Authority: The main governing body responsible for the operations, regulations, and management of the port.

2. Location: Geographical coordinates, proximity to major cities, access channels, and navigable waterways. For Paterswolde, it is situated close to the city of Groningen.

3. Facilities:

• Berths and Docks: Information on the number and types of berths, their depth, and their capacity to handle different vessels.
• Cargo Handling: Equipment available for loading and unloading different types of cargo - containers, bulk, liquid, etc.
• Storage: Details on warehousing facilities, cold storage, and open storage areas.

4. Services:

• Pilotage: Information on pilot services required for navigation through local waters.
• Tug Assistance: Availability and necessity of tugs for assisting in maneuvers.
• Bunkering: Fueling options for ships.
• Waste Management: Facilities and regulations for disposing of ship waste.

5. Communication and Navigation Aids:

• Radio Frequencies: Used for contacting the port authorities and marine traffic services.
• Navigational Aids: Lighthouses, buoys, and other facilities essential for safe navigation.

6. Security and Regulations:

• Customs and Immigration: Procedures for the clearance of cargo and crew.
• Port Security: Measures in place to protect the port and vessels against terrorism and crime.
• Environmental Regulations: Policies for controlling pollution and protecting marine life.

As Paterswolde is more of a residential and tourist area, to access port facilities, the closest major ports would be in cities like Groningen, which has the Eemshaven and the Port of Delfzijl. These ports are capable of handling various types of cargo and offer extensive marine services to visiting vessels.
