Yeah, yeah, we all know that Rotterdam has a large port. Perhaps not the world's largest in tonnage anymore, but definitely the largest in Europe. And it looks amazing in Google Earth.

Let's begin with a parking lot, just to make sure you have a familiar frame of reference:

That was the ECT parking lot. ECT is a company that deals with a few containers:

A few? Okay, maybe more than a few:

Definitely more than a few. But ECT is just one part of the port, there is plenty of room for coal/bulk cargo and refineries as well:

And that's just the (reclaimed) Maasvlakte area of the port.. the indusry actually stretches out to downtown Rotterdam. Which is all the way to the right, more than 20 miles/30 kilometers land-inwards:

Nice.
