Rotterdam: A giant, $ 500 million cruises reportedly built for the founder of Amazon Jeff Bezos facing shipping problems: may need to dismantle the loved historic bridge in Rotterdam which blocks the road to the sea.
This week’s report that the Dutch City had agreed to dismantle the Koningshaven bridge which had just been renovated, known locally as De Hef, triggering anger.
On Facebook, the locals propose to release a cruise with rotten eggs when they pass.
However, a spokesman for Mayor Ahmed Ahmed about the thing that was ordered to the Associated Press on Friday that while a shipmaker had asked while separating the bridge this summer, there were no permits sought or given.
Many Rotterdam residents are still worried.
“I think it’s easy to understand why it’s very controversial because this is a very beautiful old bridge, recently restored,” said Lizette Touch.
“This is truly our inheritance.
And I think that if the rich can pay it to open, which is usually no one else who can do it, then you get controversy.” In a written statement, about Aboutb, who was visiting Colombia, said that the request for permission was submitted, it would be assessed based on factors including economic impacts, environmental disturbances and possible risks of “monumental structures” from the bridge.
“When permission has been implemented, the city government can make decisions about this, details can be described further and the plan can be made if a positive decision occurs,” said the statement.
(The view of the cruise ship, was reported to be built for the founder of Amazon Jeff Bezos, on the pier at Zwijndrecht, near Rotterdam.) The municipality refused to comment on who owned a cruise ship in question or identified shipbuilding.
Emails sent to Amazon who are looking for missed comments.
A report by Bloomberg in May 2021 said a cruise ship was being built for Bezos by Oceco at a cost of “over $ 500 million.” The HEF train bridge was now opened for the train to cross the Maas River in 1927 and was excluded from the service in 1993 when replaced by the tunnel.
The public protest saved him from demolition and finally underwent a three-year renovation that ended in 2017.
The center of the bridge can be raised to allow the ship passing below it, but it doesn’t seem high enough for a new cruise ship pole.
Ton Wesselink, Chairman of the History of Rotterdam, feared the decision to allow a cruise ship through the bridge to set a precedent for others.
“The thing we don’t want is that the problem of this cruise ship will open up the possibility of making ships to use it in the same way,” he said in an email to AP.
But there is a support for support for the proposal.
“I think it’s okay.
Let Bezos pay high prices.
It creates a job.
I just looked at the upside,” said Resident Rotterdam Ria Van Den Vousen.
“If paid and everyone makes money, don’t complain.
Don’t talk, but act, as we say in Rotterdam,” he added.
