Abstract: Abstract The paper describes Rotterdam post-war port policy making, exploring the policy background for investment in the large-scale Maasvlakte 1 port area. The description is followed by an ex post evaluation of investment in Maasvlakte 1 over the 1968–2002 period. The ex post costs and benefits of the investment provide new insights on the presumption of the Maasvlakte 1 harbour area within the port of Rotterdam as a “cash cow” with a view to current investment to enlarge the port area by constructing Maasvlakte 2.
