Officials: Ending sea cruises could jeopardize funding for bridge over the IJ

Amsterdam officials have warned that banning sea cruises by 2035 and canceling a new terminal could jeopardize state funding for major projects, including bridges over the IJ and new housing developments. Internal documents suggest that breaking prior agreements with the national government may damage diplomatic relations and weaken the city's negotiating position for infrastructure subsidies. A final decision on the future of cruises in Amsterdam is expected to be made by the next city administration.
