Groningen Seaports is the port authority, commercial operator, and developer of the ports of Delfzijl, Eemshaven, and the adjacent industrial parks. Groningen Seaports provides all the port services, from logistics services to land allocation, maintenance and development of the ports, quays, and sites in both port areas.
Groningen Seaports focuses on three strong clusters: green energy, biobased chemical industry, and circular industry. We provide suitable plots and good infrastructure to facilitate the exchange of energy, raw materials, and residual streams.
What is special is that our management area partly borders on the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site and the Ems-Dollart estuary. Because of the unique location of the area, the natural habitat and its economic importance to the northern Netherlands, Groningen Seaports has a special responsibility.
Mission
Groningen Seaports creates clusters and partnerships based on the concepts of “circular”, “the biobased chemical industry” and “energy/energy-related” in a responsible and sustainable manner, in order to provide employment, value and a good quality of life for existing and future customers and other interested parties within its management area and in the northern Netherlands.
Vision
By 2030, the Eems Delta will be the most important green port and industrial area in the northern Netherlands. The energy and data sector in Eemshaven is of international significance. The chemical and recycling industry in Delfzijl is fully biobased. The strong connection between Energy and Data Port Eemshaven and the biobased chemical and recycling cluster in Delfzijl forms a single efficient and competitive green port complex.
