IJmuidenenzo.nl continues as PortLocals

Since 2011, IJmuidenenzo.nl has been tracking which ships enter and leave IJmuiden. This has resulted in over 12,000 photos of nearly 6,000 ships and more than 5,800 news items. From now on, the site will continue under a new name: PortLocals (portlocals.com).
What stays the same?
Everything you know remains. All photos, ships, and posts are still there, and IJmuiden remains the home port. Old links and bookmarks will continue to work; you will be automatically redirected to the correct page.
What is new?
PortLocals has grown from one port to a platform for ports all over the world. Spotters, crew, and locals share photos, news, and local knowledge themselves. New features include:
Submit your own photos: as a member, you can submit up to 5 photos at a time, and the ship is automatically recognized.
"I worked on this ship": share your story about a ship you sailed on, and comment on others.
Ship history: old and new names of a ship, clearly displayed on a timeline.
Port guide: restaurants, hotels, transport, and more around the port.
News in 12 languages: this allows crew members from outside the Netherlands to read along.
