World harbour days

September 7th, 2007

This weekend Rotterdam sparkles and shimmers again. World harbour days. Very interesting tours 3 days long. Most of them in the industrial harbours. And very much to do on the river itself.

Today I learned how chlorine is made out of salt. Needs very much power, energy, so Akzo Nobel is very keen on reducing energy costs and making biological energy and so on. Maybe Wubbo can meen something here?
It’s a pitty that we were not allowed to make pictures of the actual plant with al the piping.
