The ships in IJmuiden
RIGO Verffabriek has had its roots in IJmuiden since 1938. The Velsen municipality is anything but a boring, meaningless municipality, if you ask us. It has various sensational spots that we are happy to bring to your attention.
In IJmuiden, you can watch a variety of ships passing through the canal. Fishing cutters, cruise ships, the Ferry to Newcastle, large oil tankers and cargo ships as well as sailboats and motorboats sailing to and from the open sea. The fishing business in IJmuiden is a lively, global industry. Every day, local fishermen supply their catch to the IJmuiden fish market at the Halkade. The cruise ships dock here or continue to Amsterdam. Every year, tens of thousands of tourists from all over the world sail through our canal for a visit to the Netherlands. The tankers and cargo ships are often huge. The pilot boats help them find their way and guide them through the locks. In short, the waterways of the Velsen municipality are always bustling.
