Rotterdam, the largest seaport in Europe,

is one of the world's major container ports.

As early as 1967, some terminal handling companies were

keen to discover the development potential of containers in the world,

And made a huge investment. The port of Rotterdam has

become the largest container terminal in Europe,

Its loading and unloading process is completely controlled by computer,

and all kinds of containers on the wharf are stacked in an orderly manner.

Wijn of water adheres to the concept of environmental protection,

in addition to refitting containers,

It also recycles materials from other marine cultures, s

uch as hemp ropes and old wooden boats,

to decorate the restaurant environment.

The vertical 40 foot water blue container makes the restaurant look

particularly conspicuous and has the meaning of a small landmark.

In outdoor dining, you can see the cruise ship full of joy

and joy and the cargo ship carrying all kinds of goods passing by.

Wijn of water is located in a small wasteland of coastal industrial zone,

The surface is mainly sandy soil, and the main body

is constructed after the simple foundation is completed.
