Calor propane bottles can be refilled, while you wait, at Vos Olie & Gas depot on the West side of Amsterdam. Gas is charged by the kg, with 11.5 kgs costing us about €32 today (Jan 2018). They are a bit out of town, but readily accessible by bike using cycle lanes all the way and no problems taking the bottles by the (free) ferry service across the IJ. Propane only – butane is not sold here.
Diesel is available from the floating barge at the east end of the IJ, Northside at the entrance to Zijkanal/ Nieuwendammerdyjk. Yacht berthing is on the inside of the barge, Starboard to when heading East. The outside is for commercial vessels only and must not be used.
