Crossroads Between Land and Water
Passenger Terminal Amsterdam (PTA) is a crossroads between land and water and combines a multitude of functions. The striking building has a 600-metre-long quay, large reception halls, a touring car terminal, offices, a convention centre and a subterranean parking with 500 parking places. During the summer months the focus is mostly on tourism. At the terminal, ocean and river cruise passengers receive a warm reception. As a first impression of Amsterdam, Passenger Terminal Amsterdam is the showpiece of the capital.PTA also serves as an event location. Under the undulating roof of this artfully designed building lies a large transparent space which, spread over three levels, accommodates some 3,000 guests. The facade, which boasts of an abundance of glass, makes for a magnificent view on the IJ-harbour and the city center. The remarkable architecture betrays the hand of Larry Malcic of the London-based HOK International Ltd. The bold, wave-like structure gives the building a nautic aura. A masterly example of modern architecture, on historical ground.
About the organisation
Passenger Terminal Amsterdam is a joint venture between the Port of Amsterdam, which is responsible for the maritime operation, and NS Poort, which is responsible for managing and marketing the terminal. The management and organisation of the terminal is undertaken by a compact, dedicated team within which short lines of communication and customer-orientation take centre stage.
Southern Bank of the River IJ
PTA lies on the Southern Bank of the River IJ. The Southern Bank of the River IJ is the new city expansion on either side of Central Station. In a modern urban environment and in the immediate vicinity of the old city centre living, working and recreation go hand in hand. By 2012 this new part of the city ought to be completely finished.
Right next to PTA is the Mövenpick Hotel Amsterdam City Center with 410 rooms and 11 conference halls. The hotel opened its doors in September 2006. At one end of the PTA quay lies the famous Music Building on the IJ. At the other end of PTA we find, among other things, the IJ Tower, restaurant Fifteen and the main offices of Ahold.
The former harbour sheds near the terminal are occupied by artists, communication companies and residents, thus making the area a breeding ground for creative, cultural and commercial activities.
