IJmuiden (Dutch pronunciation: ?i??m?y?d?(n)) is a port city in the Dutch province of North Holland and is the main town in the municipality of Velsen. It is located at the mouth of the North Sea Canal to Amsterdam, and lies approximately 17 kilometres (11 mi) north of Haarlem.
The internal capitalization in the city's spelling is because IJ is a digraph in Dutch, and is therefore sometimes considered to be a ligature, rendering it a single letter.
The port of IJmuiden is a deepwater port suited to fully laden Panamax ships, and fourth port of the Netherlands.
