Rotterdam World Port

Rotterdam is one of the main ports and the largest logistic and industrial hubs of Europe. With an annual throughput of 430 million tons of cargo in 2010, Rotterdam is by far the largest seaport of Europe. The port is the gateway to an European market of more than 350 million consumers.

Rotterdam thanks its position to the excellent accessibility via the sea, the hinterland connections and the many companies and organisations, active in the port and industrial complex. The port stretches out over 40 kilometres and is about 10.500 ha (excluding Maasvlakte 2).

Port Compass, the draft Port Vision 2030 shows how Rotterdam's port and industrial cluster will be a frontrunner in efficiency and sustainability in 2030.
