Our colleagues are happy to help you!

With one-third of its territory below sea level, the Netherlands has perfected nature-based solutions for coastal protection and port infrastructure. Its maritime sector combines knowledge centers, training, engineering, shipbuilding, and port services with a collaborative and practical approach, ensuring safety, quality, and on-time delivery. 

These capabilities position Dutch experts as global leaders in building a sustainable maritime future, offering smart logistic solutions, sustainable port development, and experience in international trade, maritime transport, and logistics efficiency. Areas of Dutch excellence are: port development master plans, port communication and data management systems, port construction, maintenance, and operation, and port security and compliance with international standards.

The Embassy and Dutch companies participate annually in the Central American Isthmus Port Meeting (REPICA), sharing experiences on the environment, port technology, international regulations, modernization, and innovation. This space allows Dutch suppliers to offer smart and sustainable solutions in infrastructure, services, knowledge, and research.
