The transformation of the 2nd and 3rd Merwedehaven will position Dordrecht as the Netherlands leading shipbuilding and maritime innovation hub. By clustering circular industry, maritime manufacturing, and energy transition initiatives, the plan creates a dynamic ecosystem where economy, education, and nature intersect. With improved land and water connectivity, greener public corridors, and careful integration of work, recreation, and community, the Merwedehavens will evolve into a sustainable, future-ready district that strengthens Dordrecht’s identity as a maritime city.
