Groningen Seaports

Your new business location in Delfzijl or Eemshaven?

Groningen Seaports is the economic operator, developer and authority for the port of Delfzijl, Eemshaven and the adjoining industrial sites. The organisation provides the complete package of port services to its industrial and commercial clients, from logistics and infrastructure services to the issue and maintenance of the sites in both port regions. As well as the two excellently equipped ports, Groningen Seaports manages the industrial sites around the ports and at other areas in the Eemsdelta.

Various clustered business sites are located on the sites, including a chlorine-related chemicals cluster with Nouryon and its alliance partners as important players. Also, a large part of Eemshaven has been earmarked for the development of energy-related industry with large energy producers such as ENGIE, NorNed, TenneT, and RWE. And that attracts energy consumers as well: Google extends its largest data center of Europe in Eemshaven.

Via good rail, road and water connections both seaports are very easy accessible and there are certainly plenty of possibilities for you to get down to business.

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.

Ecoports

Our sustainability efforts are also reflected in practical terms in the policy concerning Ecoports certification.

Groningen Seaports was awarded the Ecoports certificate for the seventh time in 2021. Receiving this sustainability designation is anything but a matter of course: it is reissued only if the organisation makes demonstrable progress in the area of the environment and sustainability.
