Logistics
Multimodal accessibility
One of the strong points of Groningen Seaports is its excellent accessibility, by sea, road, rail and inland shipping. The ports have a very favourable strategic location in respect of Northwest Europe in particular.
The accessibility of the ports is ideal, with a substantial depth and hardly any waiting times. The logistics activities in the ports have increased significantly over the past years, as the arrival of new businesses in the Groningen seaports produces new cargo flows.
Groningen Seaports provides the infrastructure and facilities to accommodate logistics businesses in the port.
