It is not like the citizens of Rotterdam are involved in this shipyards business. The shipyard is not even in Rotterdam (Alblasserdam), but its ships have to go to sea.
Also, the dutch shipyarding business is quite secretive about the actual buyer, partly due to the controverse that may arise.
On top of that, 'De Hef' is one of the most iconic historic bridges in the Netherlands and especially for the citizens of Rotterdam.
- googlryas 4y agoAlblasserdam is 20km from Rotterdam, to someone not familiar with the legal boundaries, it would probably appear to be all part of the same conurbation/metropolitan area. I'm sure many of the shipbuilders are living or at least spending their Bezos money in Rotterdam. Sure it is an iconic bridge...so what though? it's not like they were just going to dismantle it and leave it on the ground.
